Project Overview
Girls’ Longterm Outcomes—Suicidality and Depression Study (GLO-SADS) was a longitudinal prospective study that followed 164 adolescent girls who were involved in a randomized clinical trial of Treatment Foster Care of Oregon (TFCO) to young adulthood. A larger project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) was the primary study of these young women’s long term adjustment in areas such as drug abuse, criminal behavior, and romantic relationship functioning. GLO-SADS focused on whether the delinquency-focused TFCO intervention also reduces depressive symptoms and rates of suicide attempt through young adulthood by changing delinquency, teen pregnancy rates, and educational attainment.
