Abstract：
Looked after children (LAC) that are placed in either a foster, kinship, residential care setting or transition to adoption continue to develop debilitating disorders that significantly impact their overall health and social well-being. The prevalence of these disorders is often depicted under broad categories such as mental, behavioural or neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Limited in research is the prevalence of what specific disorders fall under these broad categories. NDDs such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) which fall under an umbrella group in the expert field of genetics and neuropsychiatry will be explored. Unsupported, these disorders can lead to suboptimal health and social outcomes for both the child and family. In the general population, the prevalence of these NDDs and impacts on health and social well-being are relatively well documented, but for minority groups such as LAC, research is extremely limited. This review aims to estimate the prevalence of NDDs among LAC and explore how they might impact the health and social well-being of these vulnerable children. If feasible, the review will compare the prevalence rates to those children who are not looked after, to illuminate any differences or similarities between populations.
PubMed, ASSIA, IBSS, Web of Science, PsychINFO, Scopus, Psych articles, Social Care Online, secondary, grey literature and government publications will be searched to identify any eligible studies. No restrictions will be placed on country, design or year of publication. Studies must provide primary data on the prevalence or incidence of NDDs for individuals < 25 years of age, supported by either a diagnostic code, standardised diagnostic assessment tool or survey response. The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools will be utilised to assess the quality and bias and the random-effects model used to estimate a pooled prevalence of NDDs.
Attaining an estimated prevalence of these NDDs and identifying any impacts on health and social well-being might inform key stakeholders in health, educational and social sectors with important information that might aid in the early identification and intervention to safeguard and meet the unique needs of these children.

摘要：
照顾被安置在寄养者中的儿童（LAC），亲属关系,住宿护理设置或过渡到收养继续发展衰弱的障碍，显着影响他们的整体健康和社会福祉。这些疾病的患病率通常被描述在广泛的类别下，如精神，行为或神经发育障碍（NDD）。研究有限的是哪些特定疾病属于这些广泛类别。将探索NDD，例如自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）和注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD），它们属于遗传学和神经精神病学专家领域的保护伞组。不支持,这些疾病可能导致儿童和家庭的健康和社会后果欠佳。在一般人群中,这些NDD的患病率以及对健康和社会福祉的影响都有较好的记录，但是对于像拉丁美洲和加勒比这样的少数群体来说，研究极其有限。这篇综述旨在估计LAC中NDD的患病率，并探讨它们如何影响这些弱势儿童的健康和社会福祉。如果可行,这项审查将把患病率与那些没有得到照顾的儿童进行比较，阐明种群之间的任何差异或相似之处。
PubMed,ASSIA,IBSS,WebofScience,心理信息,Scopus,心理学文章，社会关怀在线,次要,将搜索灰色文献和政府出版物，以确定任何符合条件的研究。对国家没有限制，设计或出版年份。研究必须提供有关25岁以下个人的NDD患病率或发病率的主要数据，由诊断代码支持，标准化诊断评估工具或调查响应。JoannaBriggsInstitute（JBI）关键评估工具将用于评估质量和偏见以及用于估计NDD合并患病率的随机效应模型。
获得这些NDD的估计患病率并确定对健康和社会福祉的任何影响可能会告知卫生方面的关键利益相关者，教育和社会部门提供重要信息，这些信息可能有助于早期识别和干预，以保护和满足这些儿童的独特需求。
