Young mothers with experience of out-of-home care and intergenerational risk of child removal
Background
Research indicates that there is a higher prevalence of births in young females who have experience of out-of-home care (OOHC), with the outcomes of their children unknown.
Objective
The current study aims to examine the prevalence of births and risk of child removal in young females with experience of OOHC.
Participants and setting
Western Australian (WA) population-level data of 201,974 females was utilised in this study.
Methods
This is a retrospective, population-based study which uses de-identified, linked administrative records from the WA state government agencies. Data were examined using descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and logistic regression modelling.
Results
The prevalence of births was significantly higher for those with OOHC experience (18.2 %) than in the general population (4.2 %) although similar for those with child protection contact who did not enter OOHC (19.4 %). The proportion of child removal was higher for children of those with OOHC experience (21.1 %) than for children of those with child protection contact only (5.8 %). The odds of removal were 2.5 times greater for children born to those with OOHC compared to children born to those with child protection contact only [OR:2.54 (95%CI: 1.98–3.24)].
Conclusions
These results indicate young females with any level of child protection involvement have a higher prevalence of births than the general population without child protection contact and mothers with OOHC experience had an increased risk of child removal, highlighting the need for tailored support for this group of young parents and their children.
