		<description><![CDATA[By ERIK ECKHOLM Only half the youths who had turned 18 and “aged out” of foster care were employed by their mid-20s. Six in 10 men had been convicted of a crime, and three in four women, many of them with children of their own, were receiving some form of public assistance. Only six in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=drdeborahsims.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5897539&amp;post=32&amp;subd=drdeborahsims&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In respect to sub-scales, the study found that for youth preparing to age out of foster care higher levels of emotional reactivity were associated with lower levels of responsibility. Further, in comparison to their non-foster care peers, youth in foster care scored significantly lower in their sense of relatedness, responsibility, and emotional reactivity. Results from this study will add to the existing body of literature concerning foster youth emancipation. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=drdeborahsims.wordpress.com&amp;blog=5897539&amp;post=15&amp;subd=drdeborahsims&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
