A two-year follow-up evaluation was conducted for a foster-parent training pro- gram. The sample involved 105 foster families with 267 children placed in their homes. The study design explicitly took into consideration the sex, age, behavior, and number of prior placements of the foster children, the experience of the foster parents, the maximum number of foster children in the home at one time, and whether training occurred before or after the children were placed. This was done to eliminate the possibility that these factors, rather than training, produced the observed relationships. The analysis found that foster-parent training reduced the incidence of aborted placements, increased the probability of desirable placement outcomes, and substantially increased the probability of foster parents remaining licensed. The implications of foster-parent training for short- and long-term placements, recurrent placements, and high-risk children are discussed
