The purpose of this paper is to describe health profiles of adolescents in foster care. The Child Health and Illness Profile-Adolescent Edition clustered adolescents in foster care into 13 mutually exclusive health profiles using dimensions of satisfaction with health, risks, resilience, and discomfort. Health profiles were further characterized into four health status rankings from best to worst health status. Many reported best health status (39%); nearly equal numbers (30.6%) had profiles indicating poor or worst health status, particularly girls and those with high risk behaviors, aggression, sexual abuse, or suicidality. It is valuable to identify health characteristics of the most vulnerable subgroups of foster youth to tailor specific interventions.
本文旨在描述寄养青少年的健康概况。使用健康满意度、风险、适应力和不适这几个维度，《儿童健康和疾病概况-青少年版》将寄养青少年分为 13 种互斥的健康类型。健康类型进一步分为从最佳到最差健康状况的四个健康状况等级。许多人报告了最佳健康状况（39%）；近同等数量（30.6%）的人则表示他们的健康状况较差或最差，尤其是女孩以及有高风险行为、攻击行为、性虐待或自杀倾向的人。确定最脆弱的寄养青少年亚群的健康特征以制定具体干预措施是很有价值的。
