“…These youths may come from biological parents with their own history of maltreatment, mental illness, and substance abuse, which may have contributed to their children's substance use (Bert, Guner, & Lanzi, 2009;Wilkes, 2002). Many have a history of maltreatment, which can also put the adolescent at increased risk of substance use (Aarons et al, 2008;Lo & Cheng, 2007).…”

While adolescents in foster care are known to be more at risk for substance abuse, existing studies have significant limitations in their methodology, making it challenging to gauge the extent of current use of drugs, tobacco, and alcohol compared with their same-age peers not in care. This article examined data collected from adolescents currently in foster care alongside their same-aged peers within the same high schools in California, in order to learn more about existing rates of and attitudes toward substance use. California is the most populous state in the country with the highest number of children in foster care. Data were drawn from 166,521 students who were both in and out of foster care and were currently in the ninth and eleventh grades; this sample was comprised of 165,815 non-foster youths and 706 students in foster care. The adolescents completed the 2012-2013 administration of the California Health Kids Survey (CHKS). This study provides a clearer picture of current substance usage, finding that California adolescents in care are more likely to use substances than their same-aged peers, even after controlling for their demographic background characteristics. It was also found that attitudes regarding potential harm in using substances (2.29 versus 2.11), difficulty in obtaining substances (3.17 versus 3.24), and negative attitudes toward substance users (1.93 versus 2.18) were stronger for youths in foster care compared to their peers with similar demographic backgrounds who are not in care. Suggestions for interventions are discussed.

“…The psychological construct focused on resilience at an individual level (Gu & Day, 2007). It emphasised factors such as flexibility in the use of coping strategies (Chun Bun & McBride-Chang, 2007); aspects of identity such as self-efficacy (Martin & Marsh, 2006) and locus of control (Wilkes, 2002) which has been important in self-determination (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Self-determination has been described as ''the process of creatively reinventing the self '' (Leary & Tangney, 2005, p. 324).…”

“…Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Given this statistic, it is not surprising that there has been much empirical interest in determining causal explanations of child maltreatment in families (Markowitz, 2001; Wilkes, 2002). One predictor of child abuse and neglect is parents’ own childhood histories of maltreatment (Bert, Guner, & Lanzi, 2009).…”

Few qualitative studies have investigated the process of parental efforts to break intergenerational patterns of maltreatment. A grounded theory approach was used to understand how 24 parents who had been identified by CPS as being at‐risk of having their children removed from their homes due to allegations of abuse and/or neglect, perceived and connected their own experiences of childhood abuse in light of their experiences as alleged perpetrators of child maltreatment. Three major categories were identified: patterns, beliefs, and behaviors. A majority of the parents stated that they recognized intergenerational patterns, most expressed that they wanted to be different from their own parents, yet many described parenting actions that were “destructive.” We suggest that it is the interrelationship amongst patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may offer opportunities for parents and therapists to enact change.
