摘要

美国每年有2万多名非寄养青少年面临着各种各样的困难。研究表明，延长寄养有利于青少年脱离照顾；然而，不太清楚哪些州帮助这些年轻人。这篇描述性的论文探讨了哪些国家有效地帮助培养青年老年护理。我使用国家青年转型数据库和两步回归调整方法来确定各州在各种结果上的有效性，包括大学入学、就业、与社会脱节、无家可归、监禁、药物滥用和亲子关系。我发现，根据选举结果，各州的效力会有很大差异。

States of opportunity for youth aging out of foster care

Over 20,000 youth age out of foster care each year in the United States facing various hardships. Research demonstrates that extended foster care beneficially impacts youth aging out of care; however, it is less clear which states assist these youth. This descriptive paper explores which states effectively assist foster youth aging out of care. I use the National Youth in Transition Database and a two-step regression-adjusted approach to determine state effectiveness across a variety of outcomes, including college enrollment, employment, disconnectedness, homelessness, incarceration, substance abuse, and parenthood. I find considerable variation in state effectiveness depending on the outcome.
