对养父母培训方案进行了为期两年的后续评估。样本包括105个寄养家庭，267个孩子被安置在家里。研究设计明确考虑了寄养儿童的性别、年龄、行为和先前安置的数量、寄养父母的经历、一次寄养儿童的最大数量以及培训是在儿童被安置之前还是之后进行的。这样做是为了消除这些因素而不是训练产生观察到的关系的可能性。分析发现，寄养父母培训减少了流产安置的发生率，增加了理想安置结果的可能性，并大大增加了寄养父母保持执照的可能性。寄养父母的培训对短期和长期安置、经常性安置和高危儿童的影响进行了讨论。
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.
