worse permanency and adult support for LGBTQ participants compared to their cisgender peers

diversitätsorientiertes Lernen

Experiences in the foster care system are linked with SOGI and race/ ethnicity (see Table 3). Youth who are LGBTQ (White and of color) were more likely than their peers who are straight and cisgender to report ten or more foster care placements, with young people of color who are LGBTQ reporting the highest rates (18 percent). Young people of color from both SOGI samples were more likely than the comparison group to report at least one group care placement. Respondents who are White, cisgender, and straight also reported better outcomes relating to adult supports. Youth who are LGBTQ (both White and of color) and young people of color who are straight and cisgender were less likely than the comparison group to report having at least one adult who they can turn to for support. The analyses also showed that these differences held true for both familial and non-familial adult connections.

The Jim Casey Initiative is part of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private philanthropy that builds a brighter future for the nation’s children and youth by developing solutions to strengthen families; building paths to economic opportunity; and transforming struggling communities into safe and healthy places to live, work, and grow. Established in 2001, the Jim Casey Initiative leverages its hands-on work across 17 states,3 using the latest adolescent brain research and engaging young people to drive state policy and practice improvements that help all young people make successful transitions from foster care to adulthood (The Annie E. Casey Foundation, 2017). This includes a range of strategies to improve outcomes in four priority areas: permanency, stable housing, educational success and economic security, and prevention of early pregnancy and support for young parents.

Quantitative Fragebogenerhebungen (online/telefonisch)
This analysis uses data obtained through follow-up Opportunity Passport Participant Surveys (OPPS) completed by 2,557 young people in April 2017. The April 2017 OPPS represents the first round of survey administration incorporating SOGI questions. […] The LGBTQ sample for the analyses reported in this article consists of young people who reported (1) not identifying with their gender assigned at birth or (2) a sexual orientation other than straight. Those young people who reported that they were unsure of their gender identity or sexual orientation, and those who reported “at times” having a gender identity different from birth or a sexual orientation other than straight, were also included in this group. Ultimately, 17% of the sample, or 426 young people, met these requirements and are considered LGBTQ in the analysis.
