dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of Fostering Healthy Futures, a mentoring and skills group preventive intervention (previously shown to be efficacious for improving mental health outcomes), in reducing delinquency for youth with histories of childhood maltreatment and placement in foster care. Despite significant research demonstrating the strong link from childhood adversity to crime, no known studies have rigorously tested whether an evidence-based, positive youth development program can mitigate the effects of childhood adversity on delinquency and juvenile justice involvement from preadolescence through young adulthood.en_US
