abstract="Depression rates for youth remanded to juvenile detention is double that of the general population and Black girls are especially vulnerable. A dearth of literature  analyzes the factors that are correlated with depression among system-involved Black  girls, ages 12-17 years old. We utilized personal agency to examine the relationship  between risk factors (i.e., abuse history, and fear of condom negotiation) and  protective factors (i.e., condom self-efficacy, and perceived social support) that  might correlate with depression among Black girls exposed to violence. <br><br>FINDINGS  indicate that fear of condom negotiation, abuse history and low condom self-efficacy  are correlated with depressive symptomology while self-esteem and perceived social  support are protective factors that may serve as a buffer against girls' feelings of  helplessness and hopelessness. The findings of this study suggest several  implications for prevention and intervention efforts to reduce the  depression-related risks among justice-involved Black females, including strategies  that promote healing within their social support networks.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
