这是报告大规模北爱尔兰护理途径和结果研究的系列文章之一（McSherry 等人，2008 年）。该研究对北爱尔兰五岁以下接受护理的幼儿群体（n = 374）进行了调查，并进行了为期四年（2000年至2004年）的跟踪调查。它绘制了这些幼儿的护理职业生涯，并探讨了与这些儿童所经历的五种护理途径相关的因素：收养、长期非亲属寄养、长期亲属寄养、居住顺序和返回亲生父母。作者 Dominic McSherry、Kerrylee Weatherall、Emma Larkin、Montse Fargas Malet 和 Greg Kelly 研究了 2000 年至 2004 年儿童的护理路径模式，并确定了影响其特定护理路径的背景因素。这些背景因素与儿童的年龄、护理时间长短、儿童的健康状况、儿童的行为和地区差异有关。研究结果表明，尽管护理途径模式在某种程度上与英格兰和威尔士的相似，但北爱尔兰的情况存在特有的差异。
This is one of a series of articles reporting on the large-scale Northern Ireland care pathways and outcomes study (McSherry et al, 2008). The study has been examining a population of young children (n = 374) who were in care under five years of age in Northern Ireland and followed up across a four-year period (2000–2004). It has mapped these young children's care careers and explored factors relating to five care pathways that these children progressed along: towards adoption, long-term non-relative foster care, long-term relative foster care, residence order and return to birth parent/s. The authors, Dominic McSherry, Kerrylee Weatherall, Emma Larkin, Montse Fargas Malet and Greg Kelly, examine the children's care pathway patterns from 2000 to 2004 and identify the background factors that have influenced their specific care pathway. These background factors relate to the age of child, length of time in care, the child's health, the child's behaviour and regional variation. The findings indicate that although the care pathway patterns were to some extent similar to those found in England and Wales, there were differences peculiar to the Northern Ireland context.
