Transition to Adulthood for Vulnerable Youths: A Review of Research and Implications for Policy
Abstract
Adolescents aging out of the child welfare system are particularly vulnerable to poor health, undereducation, unemployment, and homelessness; yet, they have not received sufficient research or policy attention. This article reviews what is known about these young people and the impact of independent living programming on youth outcomes. It also examines research on life transition, resilience, and social support. This research underscores the importance of continued family and community support to foster individual development, even after young people leave home. This article identifies from this research broader ideas for helping vulnerable youths transition successfully.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
