SDRG Research Brief: Healthy Outcomes From Connecting, a Prevention Program for Caregivers and Youth in Foster Care
July 30, 2024
The Social Development Research Group (SDRG) periodically highlights our publications through a Research Brief. Our goal for this series is to share important research findings and draw attention to the outstanding work being done by SDRG researchers.
This brief discusses positive outcomes of the Connecting program, an intervention with youth in foster care and their caregivers to help prevent risky behaviors by the youth. Two years after delivery, positive effects of Connecting were seen across a spectrum of risk and protective factors and health outcomes. Please see the brief for more information about the impact of this program.
