Abstract

Children in foster care demonstrate higher rates of physical health difficulties and lower rates of engagement in preventative health services than the general population. This pattern places foster youth at heightened risk for long-term health complications in adolescence and adulthood. Interventions for children in foster care are needed to decrease barriers to health services, increase continuity of care, and ameliorate negative long-term outcomes. Pediatric Medical Home (PMH) models may be a viable solution, but little guidance exists on the adaptation of these models for vulnerable youth.
