Advancing prediction of foster placement disruption using Brief Behavioral Screening

摘要

ObjectiveBehavioral difficulties increase the risk that children will experience negative placement disruptions while in foster care. found that the Parent Daily Report (PDR), a brief measure of parent-reported child behaviors, was a strong predictor of negative placement changes over one year among children receiving “usual case work” services. This paper sought to replicate and extend original findings regarding the PDR among 359 foster parents participating in a group parent-training intervention.
