Abstract

Foster care youth have long been considered a high-risk patient population . Recent evidence suggests that institutional and sociodemographic factors (e.g. access to services, age, gender, race/ethnicity) play important roles in behavioral and health (B&H) outcomes in foster care-involved youth as compared to the general population. There is little data, however, comparing foster care-involved youth to an already high-risk patient population. This project aims to understand whether adolescent young adults (AYAs) with foster care involvement engage in high-risk behaviors more frequently than high-risk AYAs without foster care involvement.
