Psychometric Properties of a Self-Report Measure of Neglect during Mid-Adolescence
Adverse Childhood Experiences and Child Health in Early Adolescence
IMPORTANCE: Child maltreatment and other adverse childhood experiences, especially when recent and ongoing, affect adolescent health. Efforts to intervene and prevent adverse childhood exposures should begin early in life but continue throughout childhood and adolescence. OBJECTIVES: To examine the relationship between previous adverse childhood experiences and somatic concerns and health problems in early adolescence, as well as the role of the …
Identifying children at high risk for a child maltreatment report
Links between traumatic experiences and expectations about the future in high risk youth
The current analyses examined the role of past traumatic experiences in predicting expectations about social, academic, and occupational outcomes. These analyses were conducted in a sample of 843 youth, each 14 years old, who were participants in the Longitudinal Studies on Child Abuse and Neglect (LONGSCAN). The analyses took into account socioeconomic indicators. Three classes of expectations emerged from factor analyses: Academic/Employment Su…
Early Adolescent Risk Behavior Outcomes of Childhood Externalizing Behavioral Trajectories
Little is known about the early childhood indicators of adolescent risk. The link between trajectories of externalizing behavioral problems and early adolescent risk behavior was examined in a longitudinal sample of 875 child participants in the LONGSCAN studies. Five trajectory groups of children defined by externalizing behavior problems were identified: Low, Low-Medium, Moderate, Increasing-High, and High. After controlling for demographics an…
Witnessed violence and youth behavior problems: A multi‐informant study
Witnessed violence has significant negative consequences for youth behavior and mental health. However, many findings on the impact of witnessed violence have been based on a single informant. There is a general lack of consistency between caregiver and youth reports on both witnessed violence and behavioral problems. This study included data from both caregivers and youth and incorporated a multisource analytic approach to simultaneously examine…
Defining maltreatment according to substantiation: Distinction without a difference?
The Effect of Maternal Victimization on Children: A Cross-Informant Study
Health Care Needs of Children in the Foster Care System
Nearly 750 000 children are currently in foster care in the United States. Recent trends in foster care include reliance on extended family members to care for children in kinship care placements, increased efforts to reduce the length of placement, acceleration of termination of parental rights proceedings, and emphasis on adoption. It is not clear what impact welfare reform may have on the number of children who may require foster care placemen…
African American Fathers in Low Income, Urban Families: Development, Behavior, and Home Environment of Their Three-Year-Old Children
This study examined the relationship between paternal roles, regardless of residence, and the well-being of 175 3-year-old children from low income, African American families. There were no differences in children's cognition, receptive language, behavior, or home environment related to father presence. Fathers (or father figures) were identified in 73% of the families, and 64% participated in an interview and videotaped observation. The relation…
Children Who Prosper in Unfavorable Environments: The Relationship to Social Capital
Objective. Social capital describes the benefits that are derived from personal social relationships (within families and communities) and social affiliations. This investigation examined the extent to which social capital is associated with positive developmental and behavioral outcomes in high-risk preschool children. Design. A cross-sectional case-control analysis of young children “doing well” and “not doing well” at baseline in four coordina…

Child neglect: Relation to child temperament and family context
Relationships among neglect and child and family characteristics were examined in a sample of 121 urban, low-income families with a child under 30 months. Maternal reports of more difficult child temperament predicted emotional neglect; family context was indirectly related, as mothers in well functioning families with more support reported their children as being less difficult. Neither child temperament nor family context was related to physica…
Children in kinship care: How do they fare

Inflicted and noninflicted injuries: Differences in child and familial characteristics
Clinicians involved in child protection work are frequently confronted with decisions as to whether a child's injury is inflicted or accidental. This study examines child, parental, familial, and environmental characteristics in a group of 25 abused children compared to a group of 90 children with accidents. Significant differences and commonalities are discussed
