Recent evidence suggests that many of the widely publicised problems in Australian foster care are due to the inability of foster families to care for children with challenging behaviours. Our own research suggests that such children typically experience 10 - 20 placement changes annually and display very poor developmental outcomes. The aim of this project, then, is to undertake a comprehensive international review and national trial of programmes for the reduction of placement breakdown. The project will provide insights into the social histories of the target population, assist in the design of interventions, and inform foster care policy.

最近的证据表明，澳大利亚寄养家庭中许多广为人知的问题是由于寄养家庭无法照顾有挑战性行为的儿童。我们自己的研究表明，这类儿童通常每年经历10-20次安置变化，表现出非常糟糕的发育结果。因此，该项目的目的是对减少安置细目的方案进行全面的国际审查和国家试验。该项目将深入了解目标人群的社会历史，协助设计干预措施，并为寄养政策提供信息。
