The number of children in foster care has grown by 10.6 percent in the last five years to nearly 443,000 (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2019). Research has shown that foster youths (FY) have short- and long-term adverse health effects (Nguyen, 2014) including a range of mental health issues (Raghavan, Inoue, Ettner, Hamilton, & Landsverk, 2010). Up to 67 percent of FY had some type of mental health disorder, including 23 percent with major depression, 28 percent with conduct disorder, and 8 percent with posttraumatic stress disorder (Bronsard et al., 2016). Unfortunately, only about half of these FY receive care and services meeting any type of national standard (Raghavan et al., 2010).

解决寄养中使用精神药物所需的新创新

在过去五年中，寄养儿童的数量增长了 10.6%，达到近 443,000 人（美国卫生与公众服务部，2019 年）。研究表明，寄养青年 (FY) 对健康有短期和长期的不利影响 (Nguyen, 2014)，包括一系列心理健康问题 (Raghavan, Inoue, Ettner, Hamilton, & Landsverk, 2010)。高达 67% 的 FY 患有某种类型的心理健康障碍，其中 23% 患有重度抑郁症，28% 患有品行障碍，8% 患有创伤后应激障碍（Bronsard 等人，2016 年）。不幸的是，这些 FY 中只有大约一半获得符合任何类型国家标准的护理和服务（Raghavan 等人，2010 年）。
