Adopted Kids' Well-Being under the microscope: new study seeks answers
NCT ID NCT02553486
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the quality of life of 756 children adopted from other countries who arrived in France between 2008 and 2013. Researchers used an online survey to assess their health, behavior, and school adjustment one to seven years after arrival. The goal is to find out which factors are linked to a lower quality of life, so that better support can be offered to these children and their families.
