Courtney, Mark E.; Piliavin, Irving; Grogan-Kaylor, Andrew; Nesmith, Ande
Child Welfare, v80 n6 p685-717 Nov-Dec 2001
This article presents early descriptive findings on youths and their experiences in the first 12 to 18 months after leaving foster care as part of the state of Wisconsin's Foster Youth Transitions to Adulthood Study. Findings suggest that the transition to independence is a difficult time for youth leaving the out-of-home care system. (Author/SD)
