Abstract

This paper presents data about the emotional, behavioural and substance abuse disorders of youth in foster care and former recipients of foster care (‘alumni’) in the USA. The prevalence rates of these groups are compared to those of the youth and young adults in the US general population. The implications of these data for policy and program design are discussed.
