安置中断对寄养儿童产生不利影响。确定可靠的预测安置中断可能有助于服务的分配，以防止中断。本研究有两个目的：（a）复制先前的发现，即进入新寄养家庭时儿童日常问题行为的数量预测寄养学龄前儿童随后的安置中断，（B）确定这种关联是否通过治疗寄养干预来减轻。问题行为和安置中断检查在60名儿童在定期寄养（年龄范围= 3.10-5.91岁[M = 4.34，SD = 0.83]，58.3%为男性，93.4%为白人）和57名接受治疗寄养计划的儿童（年龄范围= 3.01-6.78岁[M = 4.54，SD = 0.86]，49.1%男性，82.5%白人）。使用父母每日报告清单，一个简短的电话采访，寄养照顾者报告的问题行为超过3个月6次。安置中断跟踪了12个月。有5个或更少问题行为的常规寄养儿童的中断风险较低，但每增加一个行为，他们的风险增加10%（p = 0.013）。干预似乎减轻了这种“阈值效应”;问题行为的数量并不能预测治疗寄养组的安置中断风险（p = 0.63）。这些发现重复了以前的证据，将儿童问题行为与安置中断联系起来，并进一步强调了早期预防干预的必要性。
Placement disruptions have adverse effects on foster children. Identifying reliable predictors of placement disruptions might assist in the allocation of services to prevent disruptions. There were two objectives in this study: (a) to replicate a prior finding that the number of daily child problem behaviors at entry into a new foster home predicts subsequent placement disruptions in foster preschoolers and (b) to determine whether a this association is mitigated by a treatment foster care intervention. Problem behavior and placement disruptions were examined in 60 children in regular foster care (age range = 3.10–5.91 years [M = 4.34, SD = 0.83], 58.3% male, 93.4% Caucasian) and 57 children in a treatment foster care program (age range = 3.01–6.78 years [M = 4.54, SD = 0.86], 49.1% male, 82.5% Caucasian). Using the Parent Daily Report Checklist, a brief telephone interview, foster caregivers reported problem behavior six times over 3 months. Placement disruptions were tracked over 12 months. The regular foster care children with 5 or fewer problem behaviors were at low risk for disruption, but their risk increased 10% for each additional behavior (p = .013). The intervention appeared to mitigate this “threshold effect”; number of problem behaviors did not predict risk of placement disruption in the treatment foster care group (p = .63). These findings replicate previous evidence linking child problem behavior to placement disruptions and further highlight the need for early preventative interventions.
