| Summary |
| Work began on this project under grant number 90CA1458. This ongoing study will examine factors that either increase or decrease the negative psychological impact of child maltreatment. The San Diego study aims to examine the use of mental health and other ameliorative services within a foster care population, and to compare the psychosocial outcomes for children who have kinship care or who reunite with their families with those of children who do not. Over the next 5 years, data will be collected on the impact of child maltreatment on latency-age and early adolescent psychological and social well-being. The study hopes to identify factors that ameliorate the harm caused by maltreatment. |
