PEER-REVIEWED FINAL EDITED VERSION OF ARTICLE PRIOR TO PUBLICATION

Acknowledgements**

The paper draws on a larger study Using health and other services: care leavers
and other young people ‘in difficulty’, funded by the Department for Education
and Skills, whose support is gratefully acknowledged. The research grant was
awarded to Claire Cameron, at Thomas Coram Research Unit, Institute of
Education, University of London, and the research was carried out between 2003
and 2005. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author, and not
necessarily those of the DfES.

The author would also like to acknowledge the important contribution
made by other members of the research team: Kristina Bennert (University of
Cardiff), Claire Cameron and Valerie Wigfall; and to thank Marjorie Smith and
Charlie Owen for their helpful comments. The author is also grateful to all the
young people who participated in the research study.
