“…To our knowledge, only two previous evaluations have examined the effectiveness of parenting programs offered to military personnel and their spouses. The prior research differed substantially from the present research in that the first evaluation was designed to prevent child abuse (Thompson et al, 1997); the second evaluation was also designed to prevent child abuse, but participants in the Thompson et al study were active duty personnel who had committed child abuse and their spouses (Mollerstrom et al, 1995). Results from the present evaluation support considerable previous research conducted with civilian parents.…”

“…Data fi-om offenders and spouses who took part in an FAP (Mollerstrom, Patchner, & Milner, 1995) found that 90.9 percent of the offenders and 87.5 percent of the spouses rated the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) as good or very good on a 4-point Likert-type scale (i.e., ranging from 1 = very poor to 4 = very good). When asked if the FAP services received were beneficial, 80.4 percent of the offenders and 86.4 percent of the spouses indicated that the program services were helpful.…”

“…Although the rates for minor physical abuse and neglect showed decreases over the past decade, major physical abuse remained virtually unchanged, and sexual and emotional abuse showed small fluctuations. Mollerstrom, Patchner, and Milner (1995) presented descriptive data on over 19,587 substantiated cases of child abuse and neglect that occurred in the U.S. Air Force (USAF) over a 6-year period. They noted substantial rates of child abuse and neglect, as well as annual percentage increases in child maltreatment reports.…”

Policy-makers need data that will enable them to determine whether QOL programs contribute to positive perceptions of Navy life and impact military outcomes. In the initial phase of this project (see Schwerin, Michael, Glaser, & Uriell, 2001, a QOL assessment system and methodology were developed that could be applied to all Navy QOL programs. The present report evaluates the survey data collected on two QOL programs: New Parent Support Program (NPSP) and the Sexual Assault Victim Intervention (SAVI) program. Surveys were administered to NPSP and SAVI program users at sites Navy-wide. Program quality generally exceeded patrons' expectations and patrons believed the programs met the program specific objectives, the overarching Reasons for Being (RFB) program goals, and Navy organizational objectives. In addition, QOL, Readiness, and the program's contribution to the Service members' Intention to Remain in the military were predicted by various RFB objectives and program quality; however, these variables had less impact on overall Career Intentions. Previous research conducted by NPRST led to the development of a quality of life (QOL) program assessment system and methodology that focused on Sailor perceptions of the effectiveness of QOL programs both at the program-specific level and at a higher-order levelhow well did these programs meet patron QOL needs. Examining QOL programs at this level allow...

Child Abuse & Neglect

Objective: The present study describes factors related to fatal abuse in three age groups in the United States Air Force (USAF). Method: Records from 32 substantiated cases of fatal child abuse in the USAF were independently reviewed for 60 predefined factors. Results: Males were over-represented in young child victims (between 1 year and 4 years of age) and child victims (between 4 years and 15 years of age) but not in infant victims (between 24 hours and 1 year of age). African-American infant victims and perpetrators were over-represented. Younger victims were more likely to have been previously physically abused by the perpetrator. Perpetrators were predominantly male and the biological fathers of the victims. Infant and young child perpetrators reported childhood abuse histories, while child perpetrators reported the highest frequency of mental health contact. Victims' families reported significant life stressors. Families of young child victims were more likely divorced, separated, or single. Incidents with infants and young children tended to occur without witnesses; incidents with child victims tended to have the victim's sibling(s) and/or mother present. Fatal incidents were more frequent on the weekend, in the home, and initiated by some family disturbance. Conclusions: Differences among groups in factors related to infant and child homicide across age groups may assist in the development of more tailored abuse prevention efforts and may also guide future investigations.

INTRODUÇÃOEstimar a prevalência ou a incidência de maus tratos à criança e ao adolescente é um objectivo que tem norteado muitos estudos empíricos, os quais seguiram duas metodologias distintas. Alguns estudos procuraram avaliar, junto de indiví-duos na idade adulta, a presença de história de maus tratos na infância; outros estudos procuraram estimar, através da consulta de registos oficiais ou da observação directa dos sujeitos, o nú-mero de crianças sobre as quais estaria a acontecer uma situação de abuso.No primeiro grupo de estudos, que enverga pela metodologia adoptada na investigação que apresentamos neste artigo, verifica-se que experiências de maus tratos e negligência durante a infância e a adolescência são relatadas por um elevado número de indivíduos na idade adulta.A prevalência de história de abuso físico na infância e adolescência, com base nos relatos na idade adulta, é estimada em 14 a 50% dos sujeitos das amostras recolhidas na comunidade, tendo em conta as amostras e os instrumentos que usam diferentes definições para o abuso (Belt & Abidin, 1996;Browne & Hamilton, 1998;Crouch, Milner, & Caliso, 1995;Eisen & Carlson, 1998; Epps, Carlin, & Ward, 1999;Fish & Scott, 1999;Liem & Boudewyn, 1999;Litty, Kowalski, & Minor, 1996;Milner, Robertson, & Rogers, 1990;Paúl, Milner, & Múgica, 1995;Rosen & Martin, 1996).No que se refere especificamente à história de abuso sexual durante a infância e adolescência, este tipo de abuso tem sido igualmente relatado por um número considerável de indivíduos na 365
