Views regarding the causes, symptoms, and perceived treatments of depression were gathered through free-listing techniques, and supplemented with narratives relating to pre- and post-resettlement stresso…

Mental health, special education, and juvenile justice have been identifying evidence-based approaches that have demonstrated…

Why Do Foster Care Placements Disrupt? An Investigation of Reasons for Placement Change in Foster Care
This study examines the reasons for placement changes in foster care and analyzes determinates of the rate of behavior‐related placement change. Findings indicate that 20 percent of all changes are behavior related. Older age, externalizing behaviors, and emotional abuse increase the hazard of behavior‐related changes. The risk is lower when the child spends more days in kinship care. Having numerous system‐ or policy‐related moves does not incre…

Findings indicate that when willing to adopt a foster child parents generally prefer Caucasian, young, and non–special needs children. However, parents also appear to be willing to adopt foster children who are of col…
