Abstract

Adolescents in aftercare services who are transitioning from out-of-home care, also called care leavers, face more challenges in their lives, and engage in more risk behaviors, than their peers. However, no previous reviews have comprehensively addressed this issue to identify future research needs. The aim of this systematic review was to gather, assess, and synthesize previous studies concerning care leavers’ high-risk behavior. The search was conducted in six databases, with sixteen articles included in the final review. The selected research highlighted five forms of high-risk behavior: substance abuse, delinquency, sexual behavior, irresponsible use of money, and self-destructive behavior. The incidence of high-risk behavior among care leavers varied noticeably between the studies. Some of the studies reported significant connections between high-risk behavior and gender, race, reason(s) for placement, and the form and number of placements. The synthesized findings revealed a fragmented, limited view of care leavers’ high-risk behavior that highlighted substance abuse and delinquency. The development of adolescents, particularly care leavers, includes multiple factors that have either a conducive or protecting effect for high-risk behavior. Comprehensive research regarding care leavers’ high-risk behavior, including the associated factors, is needed to better support healthy development and success in transitioning to independent living.

青少年接受善后服务和从家庭外护理过渡的高危行为的患病率:一项系统综述
接受善后服务的青少年,从家庭外护理过渡过来,也被称为护理离职者,与同龄人相比,他们在生活中面临更多的挑战,并从事更多的风险行为。然而,以前没有任何综述全面解决这一问题,以确定未来的研究需求。这项系统综述的目的是收集、评估和综合先前关于护理离职者高风险行为的研究。搜索在六个数据库中进行,最终审查中包括16篇文章。选定的研究强调了五种形式的高风险行为:药物滥用、犯罪、性行为、不负责任地使用金钱和自毁行为。不同研究之间,护理离职者的高风险行为发生率差异显著。一些研究报告了高风险行为与性别、种族、安置原因以及安置的形式和数量之间的显著联系。综合研究结果揭示了对护理离职者高风险行为的零散、有限的看法,突出了药物滥用和犯罪。青少年的发展,特别是护理离职者的发展,包括多种因素,这些因素对高危行为具有有利或保护作用。需要对护理离职者的高风险行为进行全面研究,包括相关因素,以更好地支持健康发展和成功过渡到独立生活。

期刊介绍: Adolescent Research Review publishes articles that review important contributions to the understanding of adolescence.  The Review draws from the many subdisciplines of developmental science, psychological science, education, criminology, public health, medicine, social work, and other allied disciplines that address the subject of youth and adolescence. The editors are especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between disciplines or that focus on topics that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.  Reviews must be cutting edge and comprehensive in the way they advance science, practice or policy relating to adolescents.
