and prior history with child welfare were not associated with any
of the five MH problems examined. However, a higher
percentage of teens who had experienced out-of-home placement
reported substance use/abuse compared to those teens
who had not been previously placed (36.6% vs. 18.8%, p .05).
Teens who reported any chronic physical condition were significantly
less likely to have a substance use disorder and more
likely to report anxiety than those without a chronic condition. In
this study, teens whose caregivers were depressed were significantly
more likely to have anxiety (23.1% vs. 10.4%, p .01).
Table 2 shows the percentage of teens who report MH problems
by age and placement. Prevalence of any one of the five
problems assessed was high in both younger and older teens,
with a significantly higher percentage of older teens in foster
care with any problem compared to teens aged 12e14 years
(59.9% vs. 28.3%, p .05). Of note, suicidality was higher among
younger teens than among older teens, especially those teens
who remain at home. High prevalence of substance use was
noted for both younger and older teens and was more prevalent
in older teens regardless of placement location, with statistical
differences noted between older and younger groups in kinship
care. Of the 332 teens with any MH problem, 52.1% reported only
one problem, 28.3% reported two problems, and 19.6% reported
the occurrence of three or more problems (data not shown
in table).
