Risking Their Future, Understanding the Health Behaviors of Foster Care Youth

Here is a link to SCAA’s newest report, Risking Their Future, Understanding the Health Behaviors of Foster Care Youth.
http://www.scaany.org/resources/documents/risking_their_future_report.pdf

This report examines the outcomes of high-risk sexual behavior among adolescents and young adults in the foster care system. The foster care system should be a refuge for children who have endured poverty and may suffer from abuse and neglect but adolescents can get drawn into risky behavior that threatens their well-being and future. We hope to generate some discussion around the implications for home visiting.
