Abstract
National foster care disparity rates for Native American, African-American, and Hispanic children were examined using correlational and linear regression models confirmed by bootstrapping procedures. African-American disparity and Hispanic disparity were predicted by disparity of the other groups, but Native American disparity was not predicted by other groups. Findings support the hypothesis that an independent construct is operating for Native American disparity, suggesting the need for unique policies and practices to address Native American overrepresentation in foster care.
