Funder: Colorado Division of Youth Services  
Funding: $202,000
Dates: 7/1/2022-6/30/2024

PI: Gina Vincent, Ph.D

Description: Researchers are partnering with the CO Division of Youth Services to develop and validate an innovative detention screening tool to detect substantial risk for serious harm among youth considered for short-term, pre-trial detention. The tool will be implemented across the state to inform decisions about who should be held in detention versus managed in the community while awaiting trial in an effort to decrease use of unwarranted confinement and racial disparities.
