Abstract
Description
This is the only book about the health and well being of young people leaving care, bringing together two funded leaving care research studies, one with co-researcher Lesley Saunders, and the other with co-researcher Maddy Monaghan. The health focus of the research gives this publication its unique position in the leaving care literature. The research studies’ statistical and qualitative methodologies, including peer research, lend the book its strength, credibility, and wide appeal. Its important theoretical underpinnings are two-fold; methodological, deriving from grounded and triangulation theories, and its social inclusion framework, for comprehending health and well being.
