Foster Care among adults in the general population

["Dan Herman" <dbh14@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Look at our paper :
Herman, D. B., Susser, E. S., Link, B. L., & Struening, E. S. (1997). Adverse
childhood experiences:  are they risk factors for adult homelessness? American
Journal of Public Health, 87(2), 249-255.

We report lifetime rates of various adverse childhood experiences in a
nationally representative sample of persons with previous homelessness and in a
never-homeless comparison group.  Feel free to contact me for further
information.

Subject: Foster Care Rates among adults

I have been asked to post this request for information by a colleague who is
conducting research among homeless adult men. She is interested in any
information, references etc. indicating the numbers of adult males in the
general population, who experienced an episode of "formal" foster care as a
child.

Thanks

Peter
