Health care access, utilization, and problems in a sample of former foster children: a longitudinal investigation

Health care access, utilization, and problems in a sample of former foster children: a longitudinal investigation. Jones, L. Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work, 11(3):275--290, 2014.
doi abstract bibtex

Three years of descriptive data that describe health problems and access to care for former foster youth are presented (n = 92). Findings were that most youths had health coverage at emancipation, but the proportion with coverage shrinks after three years to 57%. Youths generally reported good health despite the loss of Medicaid and increasing difficulties with access to care. However, mental health problems and substance abuse problems in the sample remained high over the three years of study. Most of the mental health and substance abuse problems remained untreated. The policy implications of findings are discussed.
