    Background

    Past research has shown that individuals who have had experiences of out-of-home care (OHC) in childhood have increased risks of premature mortality. Prior studies also suggest that these individuals are more likely to follow long-term trajectories that are characterised by economic, work-, and health-related disadvantages, compared to majority population peers. Yet, we do not know the extent to which such trajectories may explain their elevated mortality risks. The aim of this study is therefore to examine whether trajectories of economic, work-, and health-related disadvantages in midlife mediate the association between OHC experience in childhood and subsequent all-cause mortality.

    Methods

    Utilising longitudinal Swedish data from a cohort (n = 14,), followed from birth up until (age 55), this study applies gender-specific logistic regression analysis to analyse the association between OHC experience in childhood (ages 0–19; –) and all-cause mortality (ages 47–55; –). A decomposition method developed for non-linear regression models is used to estimate mediation by trajectories of economic, work-, and health-related disadva

    Research project Nordic Network on Longitudinal Child Welfare Research (NORDLOCH)

    Empirical findings from longitudinal research challenge the common assumption in child welfare policy that societal interventions in the form of out-of-home care (foster care/residential care) make a significant difference for the life chances of children from adverse backgrounds, not least in the Nordic countries. However, decent comparisons between countries of outcomes from child welfare interventions are few and far in between.

    Network meetings would not only provide a forum for exchanging ideas and discussing research findings (particularly for junior researchers), but also for collaborating on at least one international publication with comparative analyses of outcomes for Nordic child welfare interventions. Comparative analyses of outcomes of child welfare interventions has a sound potential to profoundly increase Nordic knowledge about outcomes, risk factors and protective factors, and the role of national context.
