Adverse Childhood Experiences Among Youth Aging out of Foster Care: a latent class analysis |
Authors: Rebecca Rebbe, Paula S. Nurius, Kym R. Ahrens, Mark E. Courtney Format: Article Summary: Investigates the role of the accumulation and composition of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on young people leaving foster care by exploring the implications of these differences in outcomes in three domains: socioeconomic, psychosocial problems and criminal behaviour. A latent class analysis was performed to identify three subgroups: complex adversity; environmental adversity; and lower adversity. Findings highlight that not only does the accumulation of adversity matter, but so does the composition of the adversity. Discusses implications for service providers and policymakers.
