Depressive mood and self-mutilating behaviors were quite common. However, most of their delinquent behaviors were reduced after they were placed. Multivariate analyses indicated that the relationship with staff, with other youths, and with family member as well as placement stability could explain their depressive mood, but could not explain suicidal, self-mutilating, and other delinquent behaviors.
