Predictors of Mental Health Profile Membership Among Vulnerable Emerging Adults
Purpose: The aim of this study is to understand the role of social support and gender in predicting membership in mental health subgroups that were identified in a previous study of emerging adults who had experienced a child protective services (CPS) investigation during childhood. Method: Using a nationally representative sample of youths (mean age = 18.99; N=1,179) tracked for an extended period following their CPS investigation, the present s…
Mental Health Subgroups Among Vulnerable Emerging Adults, and Their Functioning
Objective: The present study aimed to (a) identify what mental health profiles exist among emerging adults with a history of childhood contact with Child Protective Services (CPS), and (b) examine whether the level of young-adult functioning varies across the profiles. Method: Latent profile analysis was conducted with a nationally representative sample of youths (mean age = 18.99, N = 1,179) who were tracked for an extended time following CPS in…

Suicidal Thoughts in Adopted Versus Non-Adopted Youth: A Longitudinal Analysis in Adolescence, Early Young Adulthood, and Young Adulthood
Data from 3 waves of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, a nationally representative database, are used to test complex models addressing the developmental links between child adoption or non-adoption and suicidal ideation across adolescence, early young adulthood, and young adulthood. Diverse developmental dynamics are tested, while controlling for a variety of potential demographic confounds. Models are tested comparing kin an…

Displacement or Post-Adoption Placement? A Research Note
The purpose of this research note is to propose the use of the term post-adoption placement, a neutral term, in lieu of adoption displacement, which has negative connotations, to describe a child's entry into foster or group care following adoption. Data from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) are used to describe 2,642 previously adopted children who entered, and 3,166 previously adopted children who exited publi…

Speeding adoptions: An evaluation of the effects of judicial continuity
This study investigated the effects of a New York City adoption reform project. Goals of the project were to change existing family court procedures in selected cases to shorten the duration of time between termination of parental rights (TPR) and adoption finalization. Randomly selected control cases received the usual procedures, whereas the service group received the expedited court procedures. The latter consisted of filing adoption petitions…
