Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Most recent available census data indicate 47,885 young people were living in foster care through the child protection system in Canada in 2011. Although placement of a child in foster care is a recognized factor influencing children’s health, behaviour, and social trajectories, very little has been documented about its consequences on the health and social outcomes of mothers. Mothers of these children represent a highly marginalized and growing population of caregivers, who are disproportionately poor, racialized, and likely to have also been in foster care as children. Among mothers, Indigenous women experience the highest rates of forced separation from their children, with census data showing Indigenous children comprising over 50% of all children aged 4 years and younger in foster care, while accounting for only 7% of the child population.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
