Evaluating Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Policies in the United States
Receipt of Paid Family Leave and Intimate Partner Violence for Women Employed During the Perinatal Period
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a preventable public health problem with documented negative effects on well-being. The perinatal period represents a time of increased stress for partners, which can increase the likelihood of IPV. Economic support policies, like paid family leave (PFL), may reduce family violence, including IPV. Using data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System, we examine the association between receipt of PFL a…
Childcare Subsidy Policy Variations and Physical Intimate Partner Violence
Purpose Intimate partner violence (IPV) poses significant challenges to individuals and families, with economic hardships exacerbating the risk of IPV. This study aims to investigate the relationship between state policy variations in childcare subsidies and physical IPV rates at the state-level. Methods Using data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System and the Urban Institute policy database, this study examined the relationship betwe…

Child Care Subsidy Generosity and Child Maltreatment
Childcare Subsidy Enrollment Income Generosity and Child Maltreatment
In the United States, childcare subsidies are available to low-income working parents to assist with the cost of childcare. The subsidies are provided as block grants to states, which allows for a great deal of flexibility in the specific policies guiding their distribution. Prior research has found a protective link between childcare subsidies and child maltreatment, but the variations in policies have been much less explored. The current study …

Intention to Engage in Maternal and Child Health Home Visiting
Home visiting (HV) programs have the potential to improve maternal and child health. As federal and state initiatives expand the reach of these programs, understanding what factors enhance uptake and retention of the services becomes increasingly important. This qualitative study used a Reasoned Action Model (RAM) and a cultural lens to explore factors influencing the engagement of women with low-income in HV programs. We conducted 21 semi-struct…

Gender Differences in Intimate Partner Violence
This study focused on gender differences in the prediction of adult intimate partner violence (IPV) by subtypes of child abuse and children’s exposure to IPV. Latent classes of adult IPV consisted of a no violence (20.3%), a psychological violence only (46.2%), a psychological and sexual violence (9.2%), a multitype violence and intimidation (6.8%), and a psychological and physical violence with low intimidation class (17.5%). Physical–emotional …
Mediating and moderating effects of social support in the study of child abuse and adult physical and mental health
A number of cross-sectional and a few longitudinal studies have shown a developmental relationship between child abuse and adult physical and mental health. Published findings also suggest that social support can lessen the risk of adverse outcomes for some abused children. However, few studies have investigated whether social support mediates or moderates the relationship between child abuse and adult physical and mental health. Structural equat…
A Review of Developmental Research on Resilience in Maltreated Children
Research demonstrates that child maltreatment can negatively impact the psychosocial functioning of individuals well beyond the point at which the trauma occurs. Fortunately, there is evidence that many children who are maltreated succeed in overcoming some of the possible consequences that can follow exposure to this particular form of adversity. Those who do are thought to be resilient. What it means to be resilient is an issue that researchers…

Developmental Impacts of Child Abuse and Neglect Related to Adult Mental Health, Substance Use, and Physical Health
Longitudinal Study on the Effects of Child Abuse and Children’s Exposure to Domestic Violence, Parent-Child Attachments, and Antisocial Behavior in Adolescence
This study examined the unique and combined effects of child abuse and children’s exposure to domestic violence on later attachment to parents and antisocial behavior during adolescence. Analyses also investigated whether the interaction of exposure and low attachment predicted youth outcomes. Findings suggest that, although youth dually exposed to abuse and domestic violence were less attached to parents in adolescence than those who were not ex…
