Substance use prevention services in juvenile justice and behavioral health: results from a national survey
Background
This study examined the national availability of substance use prevention (SUP) within juvenile justice (JJ) and their primary behavioral health (BH) providers, and the relationships between the availability of SUP and agency-level measures of organizational structure, staffing, and youth characteristics. A three-stage national probability sampling process was used to select participants for a national survey that included, among other facets of community supervision (CS) and BH practices, questions on agency characteristics, youth characteristics, whether the agency/provider directly provided SUP services, and whether the agency/provider directly provided substance use and/or mental health treatment. This paper focuses on SUP services along with agency/provider and youth characteristics related to providing SUP.
Results
The response rate for both CS agencies (
n
= 195) and BH providers (
n
= 271) was 96%. Complex samples logistic regression initially examined univariate associations of each variable and identified candidates for a final multivariate model. Overall, only one-third of CS and BH providers reported offering SUP services, with BH providers being significantly more likely than CS agencies to provide SUP services. In addition, likelihood of SUP was significantly lower among agencies where the substance use distribution of the caseload was below the median. Controlling for master’s level staff and the substance use distribution, CS agencies were about 67% less likely to offer SUP when compared to BH providers.
Conclusions
Given the high rates of substance use among justice-involved youth and that substance use is an established risk for several negative behaviors, outcomes, and health conditions, these findings suggest that evidence-based prevention services should likely be expanded in justice settings, and perhaps included as part of CS programs, even when youth do not initially present with SU service needs.

'Transfiguring the Soul of Childhood': Du Bois's Private Vision and Public Activism for Black Children
Du Bois's most frequently studied relationship to the topic of Black children has focused on his publications directly addressed to them. However, throughout his life, Du Bois wrote extensively on the significance of Black children, and by unearthing unexamined archival records and writings, this article argues Du Bois put into practice a form of \"transfiguring childhood.\" This insight into Du Bois's treatment of childhood both deepens the level of understanding of his concepts of racial consciousness and also provides context and a historical explanation for the development of his magazine intended specifically for children, The Brownies' Book.

How to Use Your Eyes
James Elkins's How to Use Your Eyes invites us to look at--and maybe to see for the first time--the world around us, with breathtaking results. Here are the common artifacts of life, often misunderstood and largely ignored, brought into striking focus. With the discerning eye of a painter and the zeal of a detective, Elkins explores complicated things like mandalas, the periodic table, or a hieroglyph, remaking the world into a treasure box of observations--eccentric, ordinary, marvelous.
\"You know how you’re always being challendged to specify what you’d want to take along for a stint of solitary confiment on some remote desert isle? With this dazzling volume, James Elkins effectively proposes that all you’d ever really need to bring would be your own eyes- your eyes, that is, properly tuned and vitalized. If the doors of perception were cleansed, Blake used to insist, we’d see the world as it truly is, which is to say, infinite. Leaving aside its vitalizing bounty of particular revelations, what Elkins is really offering with this marvelous book is nothing less than Murine for the mind, Windex for the soul.\"— Lawrence Weschler , author of Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder: Pronged Ants, Horned Humans, Mice on Toast and Other Marvels of Jurassic Technology
'A magical mystery tour of the ordinary and arcane. Elkins goes detecting, explaining, experimentaing so that, our vision revitalized, we can finally see.' — Rosamond W . Purcell, photographer of Swift as a Shadow: Extinct and Endangered Animals .
\"Intriguing, informative, and revealing. A beautiful guide to the art of not just looking but also seeing.\"— Antonio R. Damasio , neuroscientist and author of The Feeling of What Happens
\"In 32 informed yet graceful essays, Mr. Elkins, a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, teaches you how to look at postage stamps, pavement, Egyptian hieroglyphs, the periodic table, grass, a twig, moths' wings, color, the inside of your eye and nothing at all, among other man-made and natural things.\"— The New York Times
\"…Elkins proves himself an enthusiastic, fun guide. With dozens of full-color photographs, this is a great book for the coffee table.\"— Publishers Weekly
\"...a useful book for writers, artists and teachers, as well as the rest of us to enrich our daily lives.\"—Marilee Reyes, Star-News
\"Elkins shows us the extraordinary in the most ordinary of things.\"—Jerry Davich, Northwest Indiana Times
\" An intriguing and beautiful project, it is wide-ranging and well-informed in the subjects it covers... this book…takes us on a fascinating exploration of the visual world- which we too easily forget extends beyond television, movies, and art museums- in all its rich diversity.\"—Lisa Soccio, afterimage
James Elkins is Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He is the author of What Painting Is (1998) and Why Are Our Pictures Puzzles? (1999), both published by Routledge.
