Little is known about the health and well‐being of unaccompanied children placed in long‐term foster care. This study includes a secondary analysis of administrative data from a national non‐profit that provides services and advocacy for unaccompanied children in long‐term foster care. The focus of the study was to examine how histories of child maltreatment (verbal, physical and sexual abuse and neglect) and substance abuse are associated with adverse outcomes in a sample of unaccompanied children in long‐term foster care (n?=?204). Results from a negative binomial regression model indicate a history of sexual abuse and history of neglect are associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes for these children at their time of discharge from long‐term foster care. Research and practice implications are discussed. 收起
