  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives:</jats:title><jats:p> This study evaluated the effects of the Adoption Preservation, Assessment, and Linkage (APAL) postpermanency program. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:</jats:title><jats:p> A quasi-experimental, posttest-only design was used to estimate the program’s effects on youth discharged from foster care to adoption or legal guardianship. A random sample was surveyed (female = 44.7%; African American = 94%) and tracked with administrative data. The primary analysis estimated the program’s effect of being assigned to the intervention, whereas a supplementary analysis estimated the effects of actually receiving the services. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:</jats:title><jats:p> The APAL program was associated with higher levels of caregiver commitment, fewer youth behavior problems, and lower odds of placement discontinuity. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:</jats:title><jats:p> Offering postpermanency outreach services to families might help reinforce caregiver commitment and promote children’s well-being. </jats:p></jats:sec>
