Nadine Finigan-Carr Published New Article in The Imprint: Youth & Family News
Nadine Finigan-Carr and Michael Fitzgerald from Imprint News published an new article, “Foster Care’s Missing Policies For Sexual and Reproductive Health.”
Among 270 youth surveyed who had been placed in foster families, group homes or detention settings, just 53.5% were “unaware that condom use can decrease their risk of getting HIV/AIDS and other STIs.” And among those stating they’d had sex, nearly 20% reported “forced sex,” or intimate partner violence in the past year.
