The Transition-Age Youth Special Interest Group: The Establishment and Activities of a U.S.-Based Network of Child Welfare Researchers
This paper provides an overview of the history and current activities of a group of researchers focused on the experiences of young people who “age out” of foster care in the United States. These transition-age youth (TAY) often have intersecting marginalized identities, as youth of color, queer youth, and youth with disabilities are disproportionately represented in care. Members of the Transition-Age Youth Special Interest Group (TAY-SIG) condu…
Youth-Caseworker Relationship Quality & Academic Resilience Among Transition-Age Youth in Foster Care
Intervention development to improve foster youth mental health by targeting coping self-efficacy and help-seeking
Efficacy of the Project Futures self-determination coaching model for college students with foster care backgrounds and mental health challenges
Individual and interpersonal factors associated with psychosocial functioning among adolescents in foster care: A scoping review
Evaluating the My Life self-determination model for older youth in foster care: Establishing efficacy and exploring moderation of response to intervention
Perspectives of youth aging out of foster care on relationship strength and closeness in their support networks
Exploring college student identity among young people with foster care histories and mental health challenges
Exploring fit for the cultural adaptation of a self-determination model for youth transitioning from out-of-home care: A comparison of a sample of Swedish youth with two samples of American youth in o…
Prior research has established evidence for self-determination enhancement as a promising intervention for youth transitioning from out-of-home care. Understanding how participants in these prior trials compare to adolescents in target contexts may inform practice by highlighting the extent to which such models are expected to benefit young people. To assess the extent to which self-determination enhancement is a promising strategy for the Swedis…
Understanding support network capacity during the transition from foster care: Youth-identified barriers, facilitators, and enhancement strategies
Visualizing and describing foster care placement pathways
This paper introduces a flowchart-based methodology for describing the movement of foster youth in and out of placements of differing types and durations. This longitudinal methodology is designed to be sufficiently simple to appeal to policymakers and administrators seeking to chart the movement of groups of youth over time and the sequencing of their placements, and sufficiently descriptive to be of use to researchers seeking to predict the pla…
Perspectives of youth in foster care on essential ingredients for promoting self-determination and successful transition to adult life: My life model
Development and testing of an assessment of youth/young adult voice in agency-level advising and decision making
Mental health outcomes among youth in foster care with disabilities
Network indicators of the social ecology of adolescents in relative and non-relative Foster households
Assessing Support Network Stability With Transition-Age Foster Youth: Measuring Change Over Time
The SNAP approach could be used to facilitate planning around support needs for youth transitioning out of foster care and to evaluate efforts to enhance support networks
Measuring the support networks of transition-age foster youth: Preliminary validation of a social network assessment for research and practice
Intervening to improve outcomes for siblings in foster care: Conceptual, substantive, and methodological dimensions of a prevention science framework
Under What Conditions Does Caseworker-Caregiver Racial/Ethnic Similarity Matter for Housing Service Provision? An Application of Representative Bureaucracy Theory
In this article, we examine child welfare caseworkers' housing-related service strategies when they serve culturally similar versus culturally dissimilar clients. Testing hypotheses drawn from representative bureaucracy theory and using data from the second cohort of the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being, we find that when non-Caucasian caseworkers share the same racial/ethnic background as caregivers, caseworkers use more active…
Reaching everyone: Promoting the inclusion of youth with disabilities in evaluating foster care outcomes
Building the Youth Mentoring Knowledge Base: Publishing Trends and Coauthorship Networks
Despite the long history and widespread popularity of youth mentoring, only in the past two decades has an academic literature emerged to support the development of program policies and practices. This study examines knowledge development in the field of youth mentoring, with special attention to trends in the number and nature of articles published in peer‐reviewed academic journals between 1990 and 2010. The analysis also represents this base o…
Expanding the scope of research with transition‐age foster youth: Applications of the social network perspective
The support and resources embedded in social networks may be especially important for youth aging out of child welfare custody, such that foster youth support network characteristics influence the degree to which individual risk factors translate to poor outcomes during the transition from care. To examine the extent of this network influence on youth outcomes, social network analysis can be used to measure the interconnected relationships in the…
