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. This brief presents NYTD data highlights that compare the outcomes reported by youth in the second NYTD cohort at ages 17 and 19. This brief also presents select comparisons of results between Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 youth. The baseline and follow-up survey information from Cohort 2 reveals that although young adolescents continue to struggle in some key outcome areas, they are showing promising signs of early independence and stability.
