本文使用了两项研究的数据，中西部评估前寄养青年和西北寄养校友研究的成人功能，以检查是否有种族或民族差异寄养青年的结果，如果是这样，这些差异是否可以解释的因素以外的种族或民族，如家庭背景或安置历史的差异。我们发现，结果的种族或民族差异更多的是例外，而不是规则，其中一些差异可以用其他因素来解释。其他人反映了在一般人群中观察到的种族或民族差异。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper uses data from two studies, the Midwest Evaluation of the Adult Functioning of Former Foster Youth and the Northwest Foster Care Alumni Study, to examine whether there are racial or ethnic differences in foster youth outcomes and, if so, whether those differences can be explained by factors other than race or ethnicity, such as differences in family background or placement history. We find that racial or ethnic differences in outcomes are more the exception than the rule, and that some of those differences can be explained by other factors. Others mirror racial or ethnic differences observed in the general population. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
