The Developmental Implications of Extended Foster Care for Sexual Minority Youth
Sexual minority youth (SMY) transitioning from foster care tend to experience worse outcomes in early adulthood compared to their heterosexual peers. Extended foster care provides crucial services and resources that may improve well-being for SMY transitioning from care. Using data from the longitudinal California Youth Transitions to Adulthood study (CalYOUTH; n = 616), this paper examines relationships between sexual minority status and key out…
Validating a Predictive Risk Model for Child Abuse and Neglect With Adolescent Outcomes
INTRODUCTION: A predictive risk model (PRM) was trained to stratify risk among children investigated for alleged maltreatment based on the likelihood of future child protection involvement. In the current brief, we assess the model's ability to differentiate risk of adverse events not used to build the model (i.e., arrest, death) among adolescent populations investigated following reported maltreatment to guide prevention-oriented services. METHO…

An Examination of Immigration Status and Its Implications for Transition-Age Youth in the Child Welfare System
The population of young adults who are undocumented immigrants is growing in the United States, and little is known about the prevalence and experiences of undocumented transition-age youth in foster care. This policy brief uses administrative child protective case records to provide a foundational measure of youth immigration status documentation in California leading up to the enactment of Assembly Bill 829, which aimed to enhance coordination …

Role of juvenile incarceration in education: Understanding barriers and promoters of secondary and postsecondary attainment for transition-age youth in foster care
Risks of Incarceration: Impact of Social Support Networks during the Transition to Adulthood
Research shows that for youth living in foster care, strong social support networks (SSNs) can promote resilience across life domains and help alleviate adverse experiences. While prior research documented the relationship between social bonds and reduced crime based on social bonds theory, the role of SSNs in explaining legal system involvement remains understudied. To increase the understanding of the protective factors that help mitigate heigh…
Exploring child welfare pathways and dual system involvement
Comparing Maltreatment Experiences for Young People with Child Protection or Dual System Involvement
This study examined how single and multiple types of maltreatment allegations differed for young people with child protective services (CPS) only and dual system (i.e., CPS and juvenile delinquency court petition) involvement by gender and race and ethnicity. Allegation types were documented for young people with CPS only or dual system involvement using linked CPS and Probation records for Los Angeles County for a cohort of children born between…
An Empirical Test of Dual System Pathways
Although a growing body of research has documented the characteristics and experiences of young people with child welfare and juvenile justice system contact (i.e., dual system involvement), less is known about the pathways leading to dual system involvement. Sequence analysis was used to empirically identify pathways by plotting child welfare and juvenile justice spells for a cohort of 4404 dual system youth in Los Angeles County between 2014 to…
The Measurement of Intimate Partner Violence Using International Classification of Diseases Diagnostic Codes: A Systematic Review
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is challenging to measure yet systematic surveillance of IPV is critical to informing public health prevention and response efforts. Administrative medical data provide opportunities for such surveillance, and often use the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). The primary purpose of this systematic review was to document which ICD codes have been used in empirical literature to identify IPV, understand t…
Juvenile justice and child welfare dual system involvement among females with and without histories of commercial sexual exploitation
Commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) is related to both child welfare (CW) and juvenile justice (JJ) system involvement, yet research of CSE largely examines single system involvement. Using a sample of justice involved females with histories in out-of-home care, this study explores dual system contact for females with CSE experiences (n = 225) compared to a matched sample of females without a history of CSE (n = 237). Differences between the sam…

Maternal Mental Health Disorders and Reports to Child Protective Services: A Birth Cohort Study
Background . Existing literature has documented a strong relationship between parental mental illness and child maltreatment, but little is known about the prevalence of mental illness among childbearing women. In the present study, linked administrative records were used to identify the prevalence of maternal mental health (MH) disorders documented at birth and determine the associated likelihood of maltreatment reports during infancy. Materials…
Characteristics of Youth Remaining in Foster Care Through Age 19: A Pre- and Post-Policy Cohort Analysis of California Data
This study examined factors associated with youth remaining in extended foster care. Cohorts of youth in care in California at age 17 years were defined for the period from 2003–2012. Multivariable generalized linear models documented factors associated with remaining in care through age 19. Findings indicate that: a) the population of youth in care at age 17 has declined over time; b) youth in care at age 17 in 2012 were qualitatively different …
