Overview…• Part I: California’s caseload dynamics in the past decade
– Dramatic overall decline, steepest among elementary school aged groups
– No decline observed for older youth in care (and entry rates flat)– What explains these different dynamics? what might we expect to
see in the years to come?
• Part II: (Late) placement disruptions of older youth– Cohort of youth who first entered care before their 14th birthday
(and were in care at age 17)– Data suggest that, even for those who have early stable
placements, placement disruptions are common between ages 14 and 17
– Why is stability so hard to achieve for these older youth? what are the implications for transitions out of care and into adulthood?

Data
• All data for this presentation are based on extracts from California’s Child Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS)
• Extracts are configured into a longitudinal database as part of a collaboration between the California Department of Social Services and the Center for Social Services Research (CSSR) at UC Berkeley
• Data for Part I are from CSSR’s publicly available website:cssr.berkeley.edu/ucb_childwelfare
• Data for Part II are based on a unique sample created by the presenters to be described later…

Part IElusiveness of Permanency for Foster Care Youth
• California’s caseload has declined in dramatic fashion over the last decade:– Over 109,000 children in child welfare supervised
placements in 1999– 64,838 children as of January 1, 2009
• Yet the number of older teens in care has not followed this downward trend:– Just over 9,000 16-17 year olds in care in 1999– 9,882 16-17 year olds as of January 1, 2009
• A point-in-time caseload count changes as a function of entry and exit flows…so we explore annual cohort dynamics over time for clarity

Part I Conclusions
• The basic intent of PL96-272, ASFA, etc. is being met – children spend less time in care and achieve permanency at earlier ages.
• We are not seeing the full effect of this on older adolescents yet...
• However, each age cohort is smaller than the previous one at the beginning of adolescence.
• Unless there is a sharp increase in the number of children reentering care, we can expect the number of youth in care to decline over the next five years.
• The caseload will have proportionately fewer youth who have been raised in the foster care system.
• These changes suggest that the youth in future cohorts will have different service needs.

Part II Elusiveness of Stability for Foster Care Youth
• Motivation:– This research extends analyses we presented last
year in which we noted that relatively few teens were in the same placement at age 17 as they had been at age 14
– This was despite the fact that the median time in the current placement at age 14 was 4.6 years
• Objective:– Explore factors related to late-adolescent
instability for youth who were in care at age 14

Models

• Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals reported (w/robust standard error adjustments)
• Interaction effects examined (but not shown in handout)…no evidence of improved fit
![Page 82: CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley Longitudinal Dynamics of Youth in Foster Care Joseph Magruder Emily Putnam-Hornstein.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994670/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley
Findings (see handout of models)• Suggestion that some types of disabilities are protective
(i.e., mental retardation), while others increase risk of late placement instability (i.e., mental illness, visual/hearing disabilities) – Low correlation between disabilities – the highest was
0.22 between physical disability and mental retardation
• Placement with Kin or a Guardian is associated with greater placement certainty/stability during adolescent years vs. foster homes (but we cannot rule out selection factors)
• Placement with a sibling (at age 14) significantly reduced the odds of a later move, even after controlling for placement type and other covariates
![Page 83: CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley Longitudinal Dynamics of Youth in Foster Care Joseph Magruder Emily Putnam-Hornstein.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994670/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley
Findings (see handout of models)• In the first and simpler models (not shown) we found that
Black children in this sample were significantly less likely than White children to have experienced a placement move after the age of 14, but this effect disappeared once we controlled for placement type and other variables
• Increasing age at entry heightened the risk of experiencing a placement move in adolescence versus those who had first entered care as infants
• Entry for “other” reasons (which included truancy, running away, etc.) was associated with late adolescent placement instability, as was having had 2 or more placements or more than one removal episode prior to age 14
![Page 84: CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley Longitudinal Dynamics of Youth in Foster Care Joseph Magruder Emily Putnam-Hornstein.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b1e7f8b9ab059994670/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley
Part II Conclusions
• Placement stability for adolescents is associated with age at first entry into foster care, placement situation, and health.
• Future research on foster youth placement stability may continue to show protective effects for youth placed with– kin and guardians– their siblings
• Other factors that may be examined in future research include changes in schools due to placement and same-neighborhood placement.

CENTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES RESEARCH School of Social Welfare, UC Berkeley
Conclusions?
• Many older adolescent youth in care (or recently exiting care) have spent significant periods of time in out-of-home care (despite common perceptions that emancipating youth are recent entries into foster care)
– Trend data would suggest that, moving forward, we should see that this is true for fewer older adolescents
– We should also expect to see the number/count of older youth dropping despite a constant entry rate (prior cohorts getting smaller due to shorter stays in care)
– Of course, only time will tell!
