Atypical Antipsychotics: Metabolic Monitoring for Child Welfare Involved Youth (Foster Care COE)

Activity Description

Many youth in the United States are being prescribed second-generation antipsychotic medications. Youth who are in or have been in foster care are at a higher risk of being prescribed antipsychotics. These medications are associated with an increased risk of medical complications, which adds to the increase in medical problems in this population.
