“…Specifically, even though we recruited a population of fathers meeting criteria for several previously-identified child maltreatment risk factors (CECANF, 2016; Clement et al, 2016; Lansford et al, 2015; NCANDS, 2017), many fathers reported no child maltreatment behaviors on the standardized measure. There are several possible explanations for this including social desirability, distrust of the research process that leads to underreporting, or actual low base rates of maltreatment behavior given this was a voluntary sample.…”

“…These factors often include interrelated life challenges (Holcomb et al, 2015) such as criminal history, limited education, low household income, un- or under-employment, and young age at the time of the first child’s birth (CECANF, 2016, Clement, Berube, & Chamberland, 2016; Lansford et al, 2015; NCANDS, 2017;). Substance abuse and depression have also been shown to increase risk (Kelley, Lawrence, Milletich, Hollis, & Henson, 2015; Lee, Taylor, & Bellamy, 2012; Stover, Easton, & McMahon, 2013).…”

Few studies have explored the direct impact of behavioral parent training programs on child maltreatment behaviors among marginalized, at-risk fathers. This feasibility study examined SafeCare® Dad to Kids (Dad2K), an augmented version of the evidence-based child maltreatment prevention program SafeCare, to determine the acceptability and initial efficacy of the program for improving father parenting skills and reducing maltreatment risk. Ninety-nine fathers were enrolled in the study and randomized to the SafeCare Dad2K Intervention (n=51) or comparison (n=48). Intervention fathers participated in 6 home visiting sessions and comparison fathers received parenting materials via mail. All fathers participating in the study completed a baseline and 8-week assessment (post-intervention) of maltreatment behaviors. In addition, intervention fathers completed feasibility and parenting skill measures. A significant main effect emerged indicating decreases for both groups in psychologically aggressive behaviors. No significant group by time findings emerged for child maltreatment behaviors. Father intervention completers endorsed high satisfaction ratings for the program and demonstrated significant improvements in targeted father-child interaction skills. Based on the high rates of acceptability and initial improvement in positive parenting skills, findings demonstrate the feasibility for involving at-risk fathers in behavioral parent training programs targeting child maltreatment prevention.

“…8 In some cultures, the use of physical punishment is commonplace and even legally accepted, 31,39 while in others it is considered to be abuse. 109 In some studies, behaviours related to sexual abuse were not assessed because the topic was deemed too culturally sensitive. 50,60 Variations in prevalence estimates of child maltreatment across studies might also be Voluntary: The choice of participating in the study was left to the participant.…”

Introduction This systematic review identified population-representative youth surveys containing questions on self-reported child maltreatment. Data quality and ethical issues pertinent to maltreatment data collection were also examined. Methods A search was conducted of relevant online databases for articles published from January 2000 through March 2016 reporting on population-representative data measuring child maltreatment. Inclusion criteria were established a priori; two reviewers independently assessed articles to ensure that the criteria were met and to verify the accuracy of extracted information. Results A total of 73 articles reporting on 71 surveys met the inclusion criteria. A variety of strategies to ensure accurate information and to mitigate survey participants’ distress were reported. Conclusion The extent to which efforts have been undertaken to measure the prevalence of child maltreatment reflects its perceived importance across the world. Data on child maltreatment can be effectively collected from youth, although our knowledge of best practices related to ethics and data quality is incomplete.

“…Risikofaktoren und Kindesmisshandlung / -vernachlässigung. In psychosozial hoch belasteten Familien, wie beispielsweise im Falle von elterlichen psychischen Erkrankungen oder einem niedrigen sozioökonomischen Status der Familie, steigt das Risiko für eine Gefährdung des Kindeswohls (Clément, Bérubé & Chamberland, 2016;Doidge, Higgins, Delfabbro & Segal, 2017).…”
