Foster care alumni lag behind the general population in post-secondary academic achievement. This cross-sectional study uses a random sample of forty-six foster care alumni from a Midwestern public university to explore the relationship between exposure to trauma and post-secondary academic achievement (14.5% response rate; age range 17-24). While no significant relationship was found between trauma exposure and GPA or failing classes, participants who experienced increased exposure to trauma were more likely to have withdrawn from a class because it was too difficult or the semester was too overwhelming. More research is needed to further understand these findings.
寄养儿童校友在中学后学业成就方面落后于普通人群。这项横断面研究使用了一所中西部公立大学的46名寄养儿童校友的随机样本，以探讨遭受创伤与中学后学业成就之间的关系（回复率为14.5%；年龄范围为17 - 24岁）。虽然在创伤暴露与平均绩点或课程不及格之间未发现显著关系，但经历更多创伤暴露的参与者因课程太难或学期压力太大而更有可能退出一门课程。需要更多研究来进一步理解这些发现。
