Abstract

Consistent with federal requirements for states to monitor psychotropic medication use in foster children and adolescents, we assessed prescribers’ adherence to best practice guidelines. Specifically, we identified the prevalence and patterns of combined use of stimulants and antipsychotics among a sample of foster children and adolescents that received additional non-pharmacological interventions from a state-funded team. A secondary purpose of this paper was to demonstrate a method for monitoring psychotropic medication use for this vulnerable population.
