The methodological issues involved in measuring the outcomes of programs are not straightforward. For example, in the case of foster care, overlapping stays in care for various entry cohorts influence how outcomes are perceived. In this article we combine the results from a simulation model with empirical research to explore the way basic population dynamics and sampling strategy jointly affect understanding of one outcome, placement duration. The results suggest that exit cohort data are a poor substitute for longitudinal data and that the federal reporting system should shift as soon as practical to a longitudinal perspective based on entry cohorts
