Longitudinal Study
The San Diego based Angels Foster Family Network will be working on a longitudinal study
of the children they have placed over the past six years. This study will
measure outcomes including the physical and psychological health and well
being of children placed in their early lives with Angels FFN foster families
as compared to children placed in traditional county licensed foster care.
Results of this study should be published in 2007.
