Summary View help for Summary
The Hennepin County Department of Community Corrections and Rehabilitation Office of Policy, Planning and Evaluations surveyed 150 youth to examine the role of trauma and violence on justice-involved lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning/unsure or asexual (LGBTQA) and gender non-conforming youth (GNC).
Youth were surveyed and administrative human services and juvenile justice data were also analyzed. The correctional staff were surveyed with an organizational self-assessment on employee perceptions of trauma-informed practices and policies. A subset of youth (N = 60) were interviewed using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire Revised Version 2 (JVQ-R2) and the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) tool to assess trauma and victimization.
This survey also collected demographic information as well as the participants' history of harassment, bullying, suspension, expulsion, housing arrangements, and foster care involvement.

Sample View help for Sample
For the youth surveys and interviews, the study employed a convenience sample. If they agreed to participate, they were asked if they would like to participate in the longer interviews. All staff who worked directly with adult or juvenile clients were asked to complete the organizational self-assessment. The survey asked Hennepin County corrections staff to respond to a web or paper survey. Staff who did not respond received follow-ups to complete.
