This study examines the reasons for placement changes in foster care and analyzes determinates of the rate of behavior-related placement change. Findings indicate that 20 percent of all changes are behavior related. Older age, externalizing behaviors, and emotional abuse increase the hazard of behavior-related changes. The risk is lower when the child spends more days in kinship care. Having numerous system- or policy-related moves does not increase risk of behavior-related changes. Risk is highest during the 100 days after entry into care, suggesting that factors contributing to behavior-related placement change might be present when a child enters care.
