Leslie et al. (2000): Analyses of 480 foster children showed borderline clinical levels of behaviour problems for almost 50% of the youth. Forty-two per cent of the study sample was shown to have received outpatient mental health services in the 18-month period following their placement in foster care — a rate 10 times higher than that of children in community samples.
