Source 2: Victimization and Depression in Youth With Disabilities

I took this source’s main claim and thesis to be that “Youth with disabilities in the United States in the Child Welfare System are at high risk of experiencing victimization and clinical depression” (989).  The author of this paper is K.L. Berg, and it was written in November 2015, in a journal about Health and Wellness.  This source used a lot of studies and information in their paper.  I plan on using this source for its stats and variety.  It has information from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Wellbeing and the Children’s Depression Inventory.  It also has many interviews with children, with the average age being about 13.5.  My other source was mainly focused on women with disabilities and how they are at risk for Intimate Partner Violence, but this one is focused on children and how they are at risk for depression because of their disability.
