“…In addition, to be part of the study, a child or youth had to have required services from two or more service agencies or systems. A brief consideration of data from selected surveys of young people with EBD (Kelleher, Hohmann, & Windle, 1989;Silver, 1989;Zeigler-Dendy, 1989) and o t h e r system-of-care projects (Hawkins, Almeida, & Samet, 1989;Moore, 1991) provides some context for the present findings. Kelleher et al studied a representative national sample of child and adolescent users of community mental health centers during the earjy 1980s.…”

In order to create a more functional system of care, agency administrators, direct service providers, the young people served, their parents, and advocates worked together to assess local needs and existing service features, and to plan required changes. This article presents data on some personal and family characteristics and patterns of service utilization of the young people served in this system of care. These data include the child's age, gender, race or ethnicity, learning characteristics, psychiatric status, and adjudications; parent marital status and employment, living arrangements for the child, and family history of risk factors; and the child's history of services and placements. Some relationships within the present data and between the present data and those of other system-of-care descriptions are discussed.

“…The average age of subjects in Kelleher et al (1989) was similar to that of the present sample, even though they included quite a few children in the 5-to 10-year-old range. Silver's (1989) sample averaged nearly 14 years of age. In Hawkins et al (1989) and Moore (1991), the participants had a mean age of about 13 years.…”

“…The majority of research conducted on children with ADHD in residential care report prevalence estimates of ADHD within a residential sample. For example, when evaluating children with serious emotional disturbance, Silver et al (1992) found a higher prevalence of ADHD in a residential treatment sample (16%) than in a school sample (8%). Other studies (Connor et al 2004;Fields et al 2006;Pugh et al 1997) report 40-92% of children in residential care present ADHD symptoms.…”

“…For example, children in residential care are often reported to have elevated levels of underachievement in school , and demonstrate high rates of grade retention, drop-out, and overall school failure (Wurtele et al 1983). Behaviorally, these children frequently demonstrate high levels of aggression, poor impulse control, delinquency, conduct disorder, depression, and anxiety (Connor et al 2004;Greenbaum et al 1996; Moore and O'Connor 1991;Quinn and Epstein 1998;Silver et al 1992). Finally, children in care often experience multiple out-ofhome placements, are victims of physical and sexual abuse or neglect, and come from impoverished homes with greater family dysfunction (Connor et al 2004;CWLA 2005;Wells and Whittington 1993).…”

Little is known about the characteristics or functioning of children with ADHD in residential care as compared to their non-ADHD peers. This study evaluated data on 538 children with (n = 125) and without (n = 413) ADHD in residential care to determine demographic, mental health, behavioral, and treatment (i.e., medication use) characteristics. Results revealed that both groups presented elevated risks, however, scores for children with ADHD indicated even greater levels of need. Specifically, differences were found between the two groups on demographics (e.g., family reunification status, restrictiveness of prior out-of-home placements), behavior (e.g., attention problems, rule-breaking and aggressive behaviors) and medication status. Findings suggest there is a need for aftercare services to help support families as children transition from care, interventions to address behavior, and medication management through assessment and monitoring.

“…Most studies conducted among these youth describe the host of behavioural and emotional problems that they have (Landsverk et al 2009;Polnay et al 1996;Silver et al 1992;Whitaker et al 1998), but fail to connect these problems to actual trauma by documenting them through trauma-specific research or measures. Indeed, although there is an increasing awareness of the probable high rates of trauma exposure in the histories of youth in out-of-home care, thus far only a few studies have addressed this issue.…”

The aim of this paper was to provide a description of the trauma experiences, trauma-related sequels, and resilience features of a sample of Canadian youth in residential care facilities, as well as to explore the impact of gender and of the number of different traumas experienced on trauma-related sequels and resilience features. A convenience sample of 53 youth aged 14 to 17 recruited from six child protection residential care units agreed to voluntarily participate in the study. They were administered the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children, and the Child and Youth Resilience Measure. Results revealed high rates of abusive and neglectful experiences in the lives of these youth. Most have experienced multiple forms of trauma. Girls were more likely to report sexual abuse and to display clinical levels of sexual concerns, as well as posttraumatic stress and dissociation symptoms. Multiple forms of trauma were related to higher clinical levels of depression, anger, posttraumatic stress, and dissociation, as well as to lower individual, relational, and community resilience features.
