Interactions of gender inequality and parental discipline predicting child aggression in low- and middle-income countries
Children in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately at risk of not meeting their developmental potential. Parental discipline can promote and hinder child outcomes; however, little research examines how discipline interacts with contextual factors to predict child outcomes in LMICs. Using data from 208,156 households with children between 36 and 59 months (50.5% male) across 63 countries, this study examined whether intera…
Shared parental responsiveness among fathers and mothers with low income and early child outcomes
Development, Acceptability, and Initial Implementation of an Interactive Text-Messaging Program for Fathers with Low Income
We conclude with a set of recommendations for social service and maternal and child health providers regarding the feasibility of implementing text messaging to support home visiting in community-based settings
Low‐income fathers are emotionally resilient: A qualitative exploration of paternal emotions across early parenting
Emotions play an important role in fostering positive parenting and healthy child development. This qualitative study explored the affective experiences of racially diverse US fathers with low income across the prenatal, postnatal, and early childhood periods. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 24 fathers. Interview questions asked about fathers’ early parenting experiences that elicit parenting emotions of different valence. Results …
Tell me what I'm doing wrong: Criticism of parenting choices and mental health during Covid-19
Family Stress Processes Underlying Covid‐19–Related Economic Insecurity for Mothers and Fathers and Children's Internalizing Behaviour Problems
COVID‐19 and its economic fallout have resulted in unprecedented financial insecurity and material hardship for many American families, with a disproportionately negative impact on children and families from socioeconomically disadvantaged contexts. The current study applied the family stress model to examine the family processes underlying pandemic‐related economic insecurity and children's internalizing behaviours. Online survey data from an ec…
Examining mechanisms linking economic insecurity to interparental conflict among couples with low income
Implementing a Text Messaging Intervention to Engage Fathers in Home Visiting
Family Stress Processes Underlying Material Hardship and Parental Detachment and Warmth Amongst Racially Diverse Fathers and Mothers with Low Income
Childhood maltreatment history and trauma‐specific predictors of parenting stress in new fathers
For new fathers, parenting stress is a risk factor for impaired early parenting and child maltreatment perpetration. Predictors of parenting stress, including fathers’ own experiences of trauma, could be useful intervention targets to support new fathers. We aim to examine associations between new fathers’ own histories of child maltreatment, and their perinatal mental health, relationships, and parenting stress. We recruited 298 first‐time fathe…
Social Workers Should Stand against Physical Punishment of Children
The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is the leading professional organization for social work that established the Code of Ethics and sets the policy agenda for the profession. Guided by the Code of Ethics and the Grand Challenges for Social Work goal to "build healthy relationships to end violence," the NASW Social Work Speaks policy compendium should reassert its statement against the physical punishment of children. This recommend…
Prevalence, increase and predictors of family violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, using modern machine learning approaches
Using modernized predictive algorithms, we present a spectrum of features that can have influential weight on prediction of child maltreatment. Increasing awareness about family violence consequences and promoting parenting programs centered around mental health are imperative
Gender Inequality in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Associations with Parental Physical Abuse and Moderation by Child Gender
Gender inequality perpetuates women's economic insecurity and a culture of violence. Parental distress caused by economic pressure may increase violence against children. High levels of gender inequality and interpersonal violence may contribute to higher levels of physical abuse. Using an ecological perspective, this study examines the association of country-level gender inequality and household-level parental physical abuse, and the moderating …
Role of maternal emotion in child maltreatment risk during the Covid-19 pandemic
Associations of food insecurity and material social support with parent and child mental health during Covid-19
Global perspectives on physical and nonphysical discipline: A Bayesian multilevel analysis
Background and Objective: Sixty countries worldwide have banned the use of physical punishment, yet little is known about the association of physical and nonphysical forms of child discipline with child development in a global context. The objective of this study is to examine whether physical punishment and nonphysical discipline are associated with child socioemotional functioning in a global sample of families from 62 countries and whether cou…

Associations between Fathers' Prebirth Pregnancy Intentions and Involvement with Their Child 15 Months Later: A Propensity Score Analysis
Objective: This study examined whether fathers' prebirth pregnancy intentions were associated with fathers' involvement with his child 15 months later. Method: Propensity score matching was used to assess the effects of fathers' pregnancy intentions (self-reported before the birth of the child) on three measures of father involvement (residency with child, engagement in caregiving activities, and engagement in social cognitive play) in a large sa…
Prescription Opioid Misuse and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration among a Nationally Representative Sample of Young Men
Background Drug use is associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration among men, but few studies have examined the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to examine the relation between prescription opioid misuse and IPV perpetration while controlling for demographic, depression, alcohol, and illicit drug use risk factors among a non-clinical, nationally representat…
Testing the father–child activation relationship theory: A replication study with low-income unmarried parents
The current study aims to replicate and extend previous research on father–child activation relationship theory, which suggests that fathers engage in stimulating, challenging, and directive parenting behaviors that are likely to benefit children’s development. A large and racially diverse sample of low-income, unmarried couples with young children (n 672) was used to examine whether fathers and mothers exhibited an activation parenting profil…
Mothers’ and fathers’ parenting stress, responsiveness, and child wellbeing among low-income families
A Bayesian analysis of associations between neighborhoods, spanking and child externalizing behavior
Does community violence exposure moderate the associations between maternal spanking and early child behavior problems
A robust research literature links parental spanking with negative behavioral outcomes for children, however, it remains unclear whether conditions in the community may moderate the associations between spanking and behavior problems in early childhood. In the current study, we examined whether community violence exposure moderated the associations of maternal spanking with externalizing and internalizing behavior problems of young children. The …
Intimate Partner Violence, Maternal Stress, Nativity, and Risk for Maternal Maltreatment of Young Children
Objectives. We examined the associations of intimate partner violence (IPV) and maternal risk factors with maternal child maltreatment risk within a diverse sample of mothers. Methods. We derived the study sample (N = 2508) from the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study. We conducted regression analyses to examine associations between IPV, parenting stress, major depression, key covariates, and 4 proxy variables for maternal child maltreatm…
Caring is masculine: Stay-at-home fathers and masculine identity
This qualitative study examined 25 stay-at-home fathers (SAHFs) in the United States and their lived experiences through the perspective of the theory of caring masculinities. Results from semistructured telephone interviews demonstrated that the majority of SAHFs voluntarily opted to be full-time caregivers, named financial reasons for becoming a SAHF, reported high levels of satisfaction in caring for their children, and experienced little chan…

Does warmth moderate longitudinal associations between maternal spanking and child aggression in early childhood
This study examines whether maternal warmth moderates the association between maternal use of spanking and increased child aggression between ages 1 and 5. Participants were 3,279 pairs of mothers and their children from a cohort study of urban families from 20 U.S. cities. Maternal spanking was assessed when the child was 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years of age. Maternal warmth and child aggressive behavior were measured at 3 years and 5 years of ag…
Toward Complete Inclusion: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Military Service Members after Repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell
The 2010 repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT) is one example of how U.S. public policy has shifted toward greater inclusion of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. The repeal of DADT reversed the practice of discharging LGB service members on the basis of sexual identity. LGB service members may now serve their country without fear of direct repercussions stemming from sexual identity. Though it is a statutory step toward parity, DADT …

Wait until your father gets home? Mother's and fathers’ spanking and development of child aggression
Using Planned Adaptation to Implement Evidence‐Based Programs with New Populations
The Interactive Systems Framework (ISF) for Dissemination and Implementation (Wandersman et al. 2008 ) elaborates the functions and structures that move evidence‐based programs (EBPs) from research to practice. Inherent in that process is the tension between implementing programs with fidelity and the need to tailor programs to fit the target population. We propose Planned Adaptation as one approach to resolve this tension, with the goal of guidi…

Racial inequality and the implementation of emergency management laws in economically distressed urban areas
Parental spanking and subsequent risk for child aggression in father-involved families of young children
Hugs, Not Hits: Warmth and Spanking as Predictors of Child Social Competence
Many parents believe that spanking is an effective way to promote children's positive behavior, yet few studies have examined spanking and the development of social competence. Using information from 3,279 families with young children who participated in a longitudinal study of urban families, this study tested competing hypotheses regarding whether maternal spanking or maternal warmth predicted increased social competence and decreased child agg…
Paternal and Household Characteristics Associated With Child Neglect and Child Protective Services Involvement
This study examined the association of paternal and household characteristics with household-level measures of child neglect and Child Protective Services (CPS) involvement, measured when the index child was 5 years of age. Secondary analyses of the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study were conducted using a subsample of 1,089 residential, biological fathers. Logistic regression models indicated that paternal depression was associated with …
When practice and policy collide: Child welfare workers' perceptions of investigation processes
Work Barriers in the Context of Pathways to the Employment of Welfare‐to‐Work Clients
The ability of welfare‐to‐work clients to leave the welfare rolls and stay in the labor force is often limited by the work barriers they face. Using a sample of 1,404 female welfare‐to‐work clients we first examined the structure of work barriers and then tested their contribution to current work status in the context of a structural equation model that incorporated other central pathways to employment. Whereas work barriers included diverse fact…

Using Technology in Social Work Practice: The mDad (Mobile Device Assisted Dad) Case Study
Mobile technology presents an exciting opportunity for social workers to reach populations that are typically underserved by interventions and services. We present one application of technology that is particularly relevant to social work practice. The mDad (Mobile Device Assisted Dad) app was developed to augment existing social work practices by providing a father-friendly tool to help new fathers learn about and engage with their infants and t…

Hispanic Fathers and Risk for Maltreatment in Father-Involved Families of Young Children
The Hispanic population is the fastest growing segment of U.S. population. However, risks for child maltreatment in the foreign-born and native-born Hispanic populations are largely understudied. To address this knowledge gap, we explore the association of sociodemographic factors, psychosocial parenting factors, and nativity status with Hispanic fathers' aggression toward their young children (3 to 5 years). Using the Fragile Families and Child …
Facilitating the Welfare-to-Work Transition for Women with a Mental Health Work Barrier
Since the 1996 PRWORA welfare reform act requiring workforce participation in order to receive services, evidence has emerged that many welfare recipients experience mental health work barriers. Yet, little is known about effective approaches for assisting women with a mental health work barrier in the welfare-to-work transition. This paper addresses this gap by first surveying the empirical research on mental health work barriers among welfare r…

Spanking and adult mental health impairment: The case for the designation of spanking as an adverse childhood experience
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as child abuse are related to poor health outcomes. Spanking has indicated a similar association with health outcomes, but to date has not been considered an ACE. Physical and emotional abuse have been shown in previous research to correlate highly and may be similar in nature to spanking. To determine if spanking should be considered an ACE, this study aimed to examine 1): the grouping of spanking with p…
