Accordingly, this study aims to characterize student-level heterogeneity and change in bullying experiences by classifying students into bully/victim subgroups and to characterize how these child-level bullying experiences coalesce at the classroom and school levels. Method: A sample of 692 students in Grades 3–5 from 6 elementary schools self-reported …
Developmental heterogeneity of perceived social support among former foster youth
Predictors of natural mentoring relationships among former foster youth

Kinship Family Relatedness, Nuclear Family Contact, and Social Support Among Foster Youth
Using a sample of 16-year-old youth placed with kinship foster families in California, the current study examines the relationship between kinship foster family structure and foster youth's biological family contact and support.

Experimental Evaluation of a Child-Focused Adoption Recruitment Program for Children and Youth in Foster Care
This article describes the randomized controlled trial evaluation of the Wendy's Wonderful Kids (WWK) adoption recruitment program. Based on data describing 956 children served by 21 agencies in 18 states, children served by WWK are found to be 1.7 times more likely to be adopted than children in the control group. Impacts were larger among older children, and children with psychological disorders, than other children. Implications for child welf…

A primary task for youth aging out of foster care is finding and maintaining a job. In recognition of the challenges that foster youth face, employment assistance has become an important part of child welfare agencies' efforts to prepare youth for emancipation. The current study uses random assignment to evaluate the impact of an employment assistance programme for foster youth on the rate of employment, income and other self‐sufficiency outcomes…

Pathways to Residential Care
This study aims to develop greater understanding of the preplacement experiences of adolescents who enter residential care through the child welfare system by identifying a discrete set of modal placement histories as indicated by the occurrence of one or more adverse placement events. To this end, we analyze the placement experiences of a sample of 2,542 adolescents entering residential care under the auspices of the Illinois Department of Child…
Kinship foster family type and placement discharge outcomes
A typology of kinship foster families
Predictors of running away from out-of-home care
Foster Family Characteristics, Kinship, and Permanence
Using administrative data describing 22,311 foster family placements in Illinois, this study examines the relations between foster family demographic characteristics and children’s permanency outcomes. The extent to which these relations differ for placements with kinship and nonkinship families is also examined. Results suggest that the age and race or ethnicity of foster parents, as well as foster family wage income and fostering history, predi…
Child, parent, and family predictors of child welfare services involvement among Tanf applicant families
Involvement of Tanf Applicant Families with Child Welfare Services

This article compares child welfare services involvement between 1996 Aid to Families with Dependent Children entrants and 1999 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants in Wisconsin. Results suggest that there is considerable overlap between welfare applicant and child welfare populations, that this overlap has increa…
