Abstract

Following nearly a decade of entry declines, foster care entries in the United States began to rise steadily since 2012, largely because of dramatic increases in home removals involving parental drug use (PDU). America’s ongoing opioid crisis and recent changes in drug policies have been associated with the growth in PDU entries. The extent to which these and other recent factors have affected historical racial/ethnic differences in the foster care system is unknown. We explored the prevalence of racial/ethnic disproportionality and disparity in PDU entries and described children characteristics across racial/ethnic populations.
