Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2005.

Data were collected using four ILP forms from the fiscal year October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. The study described here explores how ILP may impact foster care adolescents in order to learn how to better serve this at-risk population. Data were available for all child welfare foster youths who participated (N = 326) and did not participate in ILP (N = 39). The sample included youths from three areas: child welfare (N = 187), probation (N = 146), and emancipated youths (N = 32). Data were provided for all youths who had received ILP services for the fiscal year 2001--2002. However, data for all youth served by probation and emancipated non-participants were not available.

520 # $a Data were collected using four ILP forms from the fiscal year October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. The study described here explores how ILP may impact foster care adolescents in order to learn how to better serve this at-risk population. Data were available for all child welfare foster youths who participated (N = 326) and did not participate in ILP (N = 39). The sample included youths from three areas: child welfare (N = 187), probation (N = 146), and emancipated youths (N = 32). Data were provided for all youths who had received ILP services for the fiscal year 2001--2002. However, data for all youth served by probation and emancipated non-participants were not available.
520 # $a The federal government has recently appropriated additional funding to individual states to help prepare emancipating youth from foster care to return to "self sufficiency." Very little has been studied with respect to evaluating the Independent Living Skills Program (ILP) and even less has been researched with respect to program outcomes that include preparing youth for the complexities of "productivity" and "adult life." This study looks at the Independent Living Skills Program in Santa Clara County in the area of education as human capital using an ordered probability model. The purpose of this study was to answer the question: "Does ILP enhance the youth's propensity for educational achievement?"
520 # $a The study's outcome provides limited feedback regarding the youths' experiences in ILP as well as their "propensity" for educational attainment. One principal finding was that the data collection tools for this population need to be revised in order to begin to study ILP in a more statistically rigorous manner. Further, results must be viewed with caution due to the disparity between the two sample sizes (participants, N = 326, 89.3% and non-participants, N = 39, 10.7%). One recommendation is to revise the four ILP forms to obtain more concise information that should then be collected at the end of the youth's tenure in foster care as well as five years later. Finally, recommendations are made for an ILP that takes into consideration human capital accumulation as a contemporary theory for training youth for the demands of economic conditions of the 21st century.
