This study examined the psychometric properties of the 10-item social support index from the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Passport Participant Survey. It may serve as a valuable supplement to clinical assessment tools, helping child welfare workers assist older youth in building supportive networks during the transition process.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Identify the unique social support needs experienced by transition-age youth with foster care experience
Identify the limitations of existing social support measures for transition-age youth with foster care experience
Conduct the assessment of social support for transition-age youth with foster care experience
