This study examined implementation of a 12-item questionnaire, the Emancipation Checklist, designed to help child welfare judicial decision-makers (JD) identify and monitor older youth achievement of milestones toward adulthood. Drawing on case file reviews, focus groups with professional stakeholders and young adults, and court observations, we found that stakeholders, including youths in foster care, viewed the EC as helpful in catalyzing conversation and follow up. Inconsistent use and documentation and ambiguity of some questions impeded its value. We provide recommendations for clear and consistent use, follow up, and further research to examine the impact of the EC on readiness for adulthood.

对失去寄养的年轻人使用解放清单：乔治王子县的一个例子

本研究检查了 12 项问卷调查表的实施情况，即解放清单，旨在帮助儿童福利司法决策者 (JD) 识别和监测年长青年在成年期里程碑的成就。根据案件档案审查、专业利益相关者和年轻人的焦点小组以及法庭观察，我们发现利益相关者，包括寄养中的青年，认为 EC 有助于促进对话和跟进。不一致的使用和文档以及一些问题的含糊不清阻碍了它的价值。我们提供明确和一致的使用、跟进和进一步研究的建议，以检查 EC 对成年准备的影响。
