Are non-parental supportive adults associated with indicators of contraceptive access for youth with child welfare involvement?

Child Abuse & Neglect, June 2026

Katie Massey Combs, PhD; Sarah J. Racz. PhD; Nadine Finigan-Carr, PhD; and Heather N. Taussig, PhD

Suggested Citation
Massy Combs, K. M., Racz, S. J., Finigan-Carr, N. M., & Taussig, H. N. (2026). Are non-parental supportive adults associated with indicators of contraceptive access for youth with child welfare involvement? Child Abuse & Neglect, 178, 108172. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chiabu.2026.108172

Conclusions
Non-parental supportive adult relationships may represent a protective factor for promoting contraceptive access broadly for youth with child welfare involvement and may be particularly helpful for subgroups experiencing even deeper gaps in access (e.g., males, minoritized youth).
