Saralyn Ruff, PhD, Sudha Hebbala and Yvette Vega of the Foster Care Research Group at University of San Francisco have released their preliminary findings in "Perspectives of Current and Former Foster Youth During COVID-19" based on a survey conducted in May and June 2020.

Survey results are coming directly from young adults in an attempt to better understand how the shelter-in-place order during COVID-19 has impacted and will continue to impact foster youth physically, financially, socially, and psychologically.
