Abstract

The Foster Parent Perceptions project framework utilized Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior. This project aimed to investigate changes in Foster Parent Perceptions concerning feeding the infant prenatally exposed to substances. The project outcomes reinforced that foster parent perceptions change with topic-specific education. Focusing on foster parent education—before placing an infant who was vulnerable into the home—increased the foster parent’s toolbox of skills and promoted the potential that the infant would thrive in their environment.
