Abstract
ABSTRACT Exploration into disproportionate representation of marginalized populations in child welfare traditionally focuses on the ratio of child welfare involved youth rather than the disparities in needs, trajectories, and experiences while in foster care. Little is known about how American Indian and Alaskan Native children fare in foster care and no prior research using national data has used the individual as the unit of analysis. This study explores the experiences of Indigenous youth in foster care through their socio-demographic, physical and mental health, and foster care/placement factors. Differences in all domains were found between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous youth.
