Research suggests body image can be related to physical, mental, and sexual health. Youth in foster care experience disparities in all three of these areas. However, research exploring body image among foster youth is scant. This study assessed the association between foster care, BMI, and body image among a matched sample from a nationally representative dataset. In bivariate analysis, youth in foster care had significantly higher BMI and reported more frustration with their appearance than the matched sample of non-foster care youth. However, in models controlling for BMI, foster care had non-significant associations with body image. Implications are discussed. (Publisher abstract)

This article presents results from a prospective study concerning 46 children who were between 0 and 7 years old when out-of-home placement was suggested. The children differed as regards what they had experienced, in what sequence, how adverse experiences were compensated for, how they developed, and what their situation was when the follow-up period ended. Central concept from the research paradigm of developmental psychopathology were used as analytic units to capture these differences as well as possible similarities in the children's course of development. This article that three-fourths of the children had had care situations characterized by varying degree of risk, which might also be compounded by added stress connected with the child care intervention. The oldest children were most affected.
