Subject:Data on foster care youth and sexual exploitation

Hello all, I'm seeking studies on foster care youth and their experiences with sexual exploitation/sex trafficking. There are many studies that mention how youth in care are at increased risk for sex trafficking. Some have focused on runaway or throwaway youth. I haven't located studies that specifically focused on foster care youth (or former foster care youth) and their experiences. Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tamara Tamara E. Hurst, Ph.D., LCSW Assistant Professor The University of Southern Mississippi School of Social Work 118 College Drive, #5114 Hattiesburg, MS 39406-0001 tamara.hurst@usm.edu
