Abstract

We investigated incidence of, and timing and care setting correlates, of deprivation/adversity-specific behavioral problems in a sample of children with histories of neglect, and subsequent care across three care settings. Residential and kinship care were associated with increased incidence of behavioral patterns, especially in children with shorter periods of neglect.
