Depression remains a significant mental health issue among justice-involved youth. There is a well-established correlation between depressed mood and conduct problems (e.g., conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder) during childhood and adolescence, which tends to become more prevalent during adolescence. Studies of justice-involved youth reveal high prevalence rates of depression and other mood disorders. Drawing on the relevant literature, we conducted multigroup structural equation model (SEM) analyses to assess the relationships between experiencing ACEs, sexual assault victimization, and depression among male (n = 226) and female (n = 98) youth entering a post-arrest intake facility in the Florida, U.S.A. juvenile justice system in 2024\u20132025. The youths averaged 15 years in age, and most were attending middle school or high school. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were completed to estimate a latent variable labeled depression. Sexual assault victimization and ACEs were hypothesized to be related to each other and were specified as predictors of depression. This trauma\/stress experiences and depression model was estimated in two multigroup analyses, across birth gender groups (male or female) and race groups (non-Black or Black) for the youth in this study. The results indicated that there are several notable conclusions from the SEM analyses. First, depression was a scalar invariant in the two multigroup analyses, permitting clearer comparisons of the specified predictors of this construct across groups. Second, for the race-based SEM, experience of sexual assault and the total ACE score were significantly related only in the model for Black youth. The fit of the model was \u201cpoorest\u201d among non-Black youth, although even in this case, sexual assault experiences were a significant predictor of depression. Finally, for the gender-based model, sexual assault and ACEs were significant predictors of depression among both male and female youth. Model fit results underscore the important role of abuse trauma and ACEs in understanding these youths\u2019 depression symptoms, and they help contribute to the literature on this topic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph22091371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,1]],"date-time":"2025-09-01T08:28:15Z","timestamp":1756715295000},"page":"1371","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Trauma-Informed Understanding of Depression Among Justice-Involved Youth"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4113-2910","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard","family":"Dembo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Criminology Department, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexis","family":"Swezey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ACTS, Inc.
