Fostering Health: Health Care for Children in Foster Care by AAP - American Academy of Pediatrics
Children and adolescents in foster care have a higher prevalence of physical, developmental, dental and behavioral health problems than any other group of children. Typically these health care problems are chronic, unidentified and under-treated, and have a continuing impact on all aspects of their lives. The new second edition of Fostering Health: Health Care for Children in Foster Care defines standards of health care delivery and management that promote quality health care and wellness for the complex and medically needy population of children in foster care.
