Family network size (bio/step/adopt/other, adults or youth, lives with or in contact) 5.97 (3.44) 0-18 1 16
Foster household size (adults/youth lives with) 4.50 (2.13) 0-12 1 12
Family members in foster household 2.23 (2.29) 0-12 0 12
Bio-Relative Adults in foster household .64 (1.04) 0-5 0 5
Bio-Relative Youth in foster household 1.47 (1.51) 0-9 0 4
Non-Relative Foster Adults in foster household 1.30 (1.12) 0-5 0 4
Non-Relative Foster Youth in foster household .95 (1.44) 0-9 0 7
Family members (bio/step/adopt/other) in contact 3.78 (2.53) 0-15 0 15
Relationship quality with bio mom 5.71 (4.45) 0-10 0 10
Relationship quality with bio dad 3.11 (4.35) 0-10 0 10
Relationship with foster parent(s) 8.45 (1.99) 1-10 1 10

Note. For relationship quality with biological parents, 0 = no contact (to reduce missing data in the analysis), 1 = not good at all, and 10 = very good. For foster parent relationship quality, 1 = not good at all, and 10 = very good (if youth reported on two foster parent relationships, the quality indicator reflects the mean of these ratings).
