Highlights from the NYTD Survey: Outcomes Reported by Young People at Ages 17, 19, and 21 (Cohort 2). NYTD Data Brief #7
Children's Bureau, Office of the Administration for Children & Families
To measure the outcomes of youth transitioning out of foster care, states are required to administer the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) survey to cohorts of youth at ages 17, 19, and 21. With this second cohort of youth having completed all three waves of data collection, researchers are beginning to better understand the experiences of current and former foster care youth as they age. This brief presents findings from NYTD surveys completed by Cohort 2 youth at ages 17, 19, and 21. The baseline and follow-up survey information from Cohort 2 reveals that, generally, some young adults are faring well in many outcome areas, but some youth are struggling.
