| ABSTRACT: The Baltimore County DSS Aftercare Study is a collaborative research project between the University of Maryland Center for Families and the Baltimore County Department of Social Services. The project is designed to develop protocols for an exit summary/case review, a six-month follow-up interview, and an annual follow-up for 5 year with young adults who have left foster care/kinship care. The outcomes of the project are guided by the Foster Care Independence Act of 1999. Both case record data and self-report data will be collected on outcomes including: avoidance of dependency, homelessness, non-marital childbirth, educational achievement, criminal activity, and high-risk behavior. The Center for Families also helped BCODSS develop a data system to facilitate data collection and management.
