Abstract

the new antipsychotic users. The outcome was time to first foster care placement transition during a 180-day follow-up. Cox proportional hazard models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) associated with antipsychotic initiation, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and foster care characteristics. RESULTS: Comparing new users to propensity-score matched nonusers, there was no difference regarding average days to placement transition (109 versus 113 days). The proportion experiencing a foster care placement transition (37% versus 36%) during the follow-up. The HR was 1.1 (95% CI: 0.7-1.6). CONCLUSIONS: Youth initiating antipsychotics had no significant reduction in foster placement transitions within the 180-day follow-up. Although antipsychotics are widely used for aggressive behaviors, a better understanding of clinical management of youth in foster care is needed to promote stable foster placement.
