ISPR staff presented findings in a presentation titled “Tribal Youth Victimization and Delinquency: An Analysis of Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey Data” at the 22nd Annual Research Conference on Children’s Mental Health.  The conference was convened between March 1 and March 3 in Tampa, Florida. ISPR Director Thomas W. Pavkov and Research Assistant Leah Travis partnered with staff from the National Indian Child Welfare Association for the presentation.  Research findings focused on the disparities that exists between American Indian/Alaskan Native youth compared to youth from other ethnic groups related to both victimization and delinquency.  The research team continues to develop the data from this analysis for dissemination at other venues.
