Both those with disabilities and those who age of out of foster care are vulnerable during this transition. This project examines the intersection of these groups, exploring employment, education, and disability benefit receipt, the supports these youth receive, and how these supports may mitigate risk in this transition. Findings suggest that those with emotional or mental disabilities face employment risks in the transition to adulthood, and that services may mitigate some of this risk and present unique benefits for youth with disabilities. For example, the odds of employment are greater and the odds of receiving disability benefits are lower among those who receive academic supports (<i>or</i><sub><i>FTE</i></sub>=1.3, <i>or</i><sub><i>SSI</i>/<i>SSDI</i></sub>==0.7), post-secondary supports (<i>or</i><sub><i>FTE</i></sub>=1.3, <i>or</i><sub><i>SSI</i>/<i>SSDI</i></sub>=0.8), education financial assistance (<i>or</i><sub><i>PTE</i></sub>=1.3, <i>or</i><sub><i>SSI</i>/<i>SSDI</i></sub>=0.7), and career services (<i>or</i><sub><i>PTE</i></sub>=1.3, <i>or</i><sub><i>SSI</i>/<i>SSDI</i></sub>=0.8). These services should be prioritized for funding, especially education financial assistance as a lower proportion of youth with disabilities receive than their non-disabled peers.</p>","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 4","pages":"894-923"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10482393/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10265726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No differences were found in child behavior problems within the dimension abuse versus neglect. However, more externalizing behavior problems (e.g., aggressive problems) were found in children who experienced physical maltreatment compared to children who experienced emotional maltreatment. Further, more behavior problems (e.g., social problems, attention problems, and trauma symptoms) were found in victims of multitype maltreatment compared to victims of any single-type maltreatment. The results of this study increase the understanding of the impact of child maltreatment poly-victimization, and highlight the value of classifying child maltreatment into physical and emotional maltreatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":16907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Child Welfare","volume":"17 2","pages":"408-429"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/29/6b/WPCW_17_2044429.PMC9988305.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9438736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
