“…Across both groups, having Medicaid improved their odds of receiving preventive health and dental care. We also examined Time 4 health data by using adolescents’ self-reports of health-related variables (Schneiderman, Negriff, & Trickett, 2016). Comparison adolescents reported more cold and pain symptoms during the previous 30 days than did maltreated youth, but there were no differences in other physical health problems, self-assessment of their physical and mental health, or health care use compared with maltreated adolescents.…”

The Young Adolescent Project (YAP) is an ongoing longitudinal study investigating the effects of abuse and neglect on adolescent development. It is a multidisciplinary study guided by a developmental, ecological perspective, and designed to consider the physical, social, and psychological effects of childhood maltreatment through the transition from childhood to adolescence. Four waves of data collection have been completed, ranging from early (Mean age = 10.95) to late adolescence (Mean age = 18.24). Members of the maltreated group (n = 303) were selected from new cases that had been opened by the Department of Child and Family Services, whereas the comparison group (n = 151) were not involved with child welfare but lived in the same neighborhoods as the maltreated group. The study assessed a wide variety of domains including physical development (e.g., height, weight, body mass, pubertal development); physiological reactivity (e.g., cortisol); cognitive abilities; mental health (e.g., symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and aggression); risk behavior (e.g., sexual activity, delinquency, or substance use); social development (e.g., self-esteem, competence, and social support); family environment; and exposure to community violence. Overall, our findings demonstrated the pervasive and persistent adverse effects of child maltreatment both within and across domains, but they also identified maltreated youth with positive functioning. Our hope is that this work will help move us toward identifying targets for intervention to cultivate resilience and positive adaptation after early maltreatment experiences.

“…While the present study was limited to women due to lack of reliable recording of fathers on birth records, literature does suggest gender variation in response to maltreatment during adolescence (Horan, & Widom, 2015; Negriff, Saxbe, & Trickett, 2015; Negriff, Schneiderman, & Trickett., 2015; Schneiderman, Negriff, & Trickett, 2016; Topitzes, Mersky, & Reynolds, 2012). …”

While marriage and childbirth are generally considered positive adult outcomes, it is not clear that this holds true among low income young women. Beyond adolescent parenting, little empirical data exists on various types of family formation in this population. The aims of this study were twofold: (1) to understand predictors of type of family formation (e.g., none, childrearing, marriage, or both) among 4,385 young women with childhood histories of poverty and/or maltreatment; and (2) to explore whether family formation patterns were associated with negative adult behavioral and health outcomes. Results of the AIM 1 multinomial regression analysis of family formation indicated that the likelihood of childrearing with or without marriage increased with an increase in the number of adolescent risk behaviors after controlling for the maltreatment and/or poverty histories. Among women with maltreatment histories, early onset maltreatment was associated with childrearing or marriage compared to no family. Among previously maltreated women, predictors of family formation varied according to prior poverty history. AIM 2 Cox regression results indicated that having children with or without marriage was associated with a higher risk of negative outcomes after controlling for maltreatment and adolescent risk factors. Bivariate analyses suggested that most of the increased risk was associated with having at least two children. Findings underscore the importance of preventing adolescent risk behaviors among low income and maltreated girls as well as early and unplanned births among vulnerable young adult women.

“…For example, among young children (less than 3 years of age) confirmed/suspected of experiencing physical abuse have lower immunization rates and are less likely to have a primary care provider compared with children who did not experience abuse (Stockwell, Brown, Chen, & Irigoyen, 2007; Stockwell, Brown, Chen, Vaughan, & Irigoyen, 2008). In contrast, a study of maltreated and non-maltreated adolescents living ( M age = 12 years) living in Los Angeles, California, noted no differences in receipt of preventive medical care by maltreatment status (Schneiderman, Negriff, & Trickett, 2016). Understanding the patterns of health service use by maltreated children could inform strategies to allocate resources within the health system in a way that may have the most impact.…”

Among maltreated children, elevated use of non-routine (for illness or injury) services may coexist with underutilization of preventive services. Besides physical health problems, lack of contact with primary care may preclude the identification and delivery of appropriate interventions. We examined health service utilization in the longitudinal Boricua Youth Study of Puerto Rican children residing in the South Bronx (SBx), New York City ( n = 901), and San Juan metropolitan area, Puerto Rico ( n = 1,163). Parents and children ( M = 9 years) reported on child physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect. Parents reported if their child had been to illness, injury, and well-child visits in the past year. In the SBx site, caretakers were more likely to report the children seeing a doctor for a well-child visit (90%) compared with children in Puerto Rico (71%). Children in Puerto Rico were more likely to visit a doctor for an injury in the past year compared with children in the SBx (39% vs. 24%). Twenty-one percent of children in the SBx reported maltreatment versus 16% in Puerto Rico. Adjusting for sociodemographic factors, compared with non-maltreated children, those who experienced two or more types of maltreatment were more likely to have an illness visit in Puerto Rico (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.1, 2.2]) and the SBx (PR = 1.8, 95% CI = [1.1, 3.0]), or an injury visit (PR = 4.1, 95% CI = [1.9, 8.9]) in Puerto Rico only. Children in the SBx who reported only one type of maltreatment were less likely to use services for injuries than non-maltreated children (PR = 0.42, 95% CI = [0.2, 0.9]). No relation between maltreatment and well-child visits was noted. Children who experience maltreatment may frequently come in contact with health care providers, presenting opportunities for intervention and the prevention of further maltreatment.
