Young People in Custody Health Survey
The Young People in Custody Health Survey (YPICHS) was undertaken in 2003, 2009, and again in 2015 in collaboration with Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network. It provides a physical and mental health profile of the Youth Justice NSW custodial population, with data gathered through face-to-face interviews, physical, mental health and cognitive assessments and pathology testing.
The next iteration of YPICHS is planned for the end of 2022.
