Purpose: To examine the relationship between youth incarceration in adult correctional facilities and mental health in early adulthood.
Methods: We analyzed nationally representative data from 1997 through 2019 (N = 8,961) using the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. An ordinary least squares regression model using inverse probability weights was used to assess the influence of youth incarceration in an adult facility on average mental health scores from age 18 to 37.
