Beyond Prevalence: An Explanatory Approach to Reframing Child Maltreatment in the United Kingdom

Redrawing the line: An exploration of how lay people construct child neglect

“…Participants drew on medicine, functionalism and in particular on developmental psychology to understand childhood needs. Although Kendall-Taylor et al (2014) argued that the effects of child neglect on child development was not well understood by the public, I found participants to be generally familiar with expert knowledge in this area. Participants spoke of child neglect causing the same type of behavioral, psychological and social dysfunction as the expert literature (Davies & Ward, 2012;Hildyard & Wolfe, 2002;Meadows et al, 2011).…”

When It Comes to Older Adults, Language Matters and Is Changing: American Geriatrics Society Update on Reframing Aging Style Changes

“…Development of PPC has been previously reported. 3,4 Nine primary care clinicians and five cardiologists were eligible to participate (i.e., they participated in the PPC demonstration study and cared for ≥5 participating patients). This study was approved by the Yale Institutional Review Board.…”

“…1,2 In response to these limitations, a multistakeholder group developed Patient Priorities Care (PPC), an approach to eliciting patients' priorities and translating them into clinical care. 3,4 This approach was shown to be feasible and demonstrated promise in reducing burdensome and unwanted care. 5,6 To translate PPC to diverse clinical settings, it is critical to understand how the approach was perceived and what factors impeded its optimal implementation.…”

Seeing Context through Metaphor: Using Communications Research to Bring a Social Determinants Perspective to Public Thinking about Child Abuse and Neglect

“…Below, we review some of the most dominant cultural models that guide and shape the British public’s thinking about early childhood, adversity, and maltreatment. A more comprehensive analysis of these and other patterns of thinking about development and maltreatment can be found elsewhere [ 1 , 19 ]. A major finding of this research is the existence of a set of highly dominant cultural models that lead people to focus on individual causes of and solutions to issues of child maltreatment, while at the same time finding the presence of a set of more backgrounded assumptions and understandings through which people can appreciate more contextual dimensions of child abuse and neglect.…”

“…As members of the public and policymakers consider social policies intended to address and prevent child abuse and neglect, the way in which these issues are framed becomes highly relevant [ 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Message framing—or the choices made in how information is presented and what is said and left unsaid—can play a powerful role in how people understand a target issue and the solutions they support [ 22 ].…”
