Intercountry adopted children as young adults--a Swedish cohort study
National registers were used to examine 5,942 intercountry adoptees as young adults. Adoptees more often had psychiatric problems and long-term social-welfare receipt; educational attainment was broadly similar to the general population before socioeconomic adjustment.
Limitations: Register measures do not capture adoptees' own accounts; cohort born 1968–75.
