The percentage of youth scoring above Caution on MAYSI-2 scales was examined by race/ethnicity (white vs. minorities) and sex. Regional differences were assessed using Cochran’s Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) analyses. White youth were more likely to score above caution on all clinical scales except Depressed-Anxious. An interesting gender and race/ethnicity effect emerged such that White male youth in the Northeast and Midwest were more likely than Minority youth to score above caution; whereas White female youth in the West were more likely than Minority youth to score above caution.en-USCopyright the Author(s)juvenile offendersracemental healthHealth Services ResearchJuvenile LawLaw and PsychologyMental and Social HealthPsychiatric and Mental HealthPsychiatryPsychiatry and PsychologyPosterhttps://escholarship.umassmed.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1635&amp;context=psych_cmhsr&amp;unstamped=1https://escholarship.umassmed.edu/psych_cmhsr/6444098870psych_cmhsr/644
