“…Most assessment tools of child maltreatment have focused on the identification of risk factors (Ross & Vandivere, 2009 ). The development of ACRAM-PFS is based on the theoretical framework of strength-based assessment (Navarro et al, 2022 ). It postulates that assessing the presence or absence of protective factors completes the information provided by risk factors, pointing out the features of the case that should be exploited during the intervention (Ogg et al, 2010 ).…”

“…The sample employed in this study comes from the first wave of DAP 360º, a longitudinal study carried out in the Valencian Community (Spain) aimed to develop an instrument for the comprehensive detection and assessment of child maltreatment. The result of DAP 360° project is the ACRAM, a battery of child maltreatment risk and protective indicators designed according to the needs of child welfare workers and submitted to a content validity process (Carbonell et al, 2022 ; Navarro et al, 2022b ).…”

“…The ACRAM (Carbonell et al, 2022 ; Navarro et al, 2022b ). It is a comprehensive instrument for the detection and assessment of child maltreatment including 97 risk or protective indicators divided into three general sections: (1) Risk factors associated to parental/caregiver behavior (2) Risk factors associated to the environment, and (3) Protective factors.…”

Background Child maltreatment is a significant global problem concerning over 25% of children around the world. Traditionally, the assessment of children’s welfare was characterized by the creation of instruments and models from the deficit-based theoretical framework. Purpose This study aims to develop an instrument to measure protective factors (the Adolescent and Children Risk of Abuse and Maltreatment Protective Factors Scale, ACRAM-PFS) and gather evidence on its psychometric properties. ACRAM-PFS is an 18-items scale for the assessment of protective factors of child maltreatment developed from the socioecological framework. Method Structural validity, reliability and convergent-related validity were studied for this measure in a sample of 616 children and adolescents, with age ranging from 0 to 18 years old (M = 12.14; SD = 5.22). Cases were informed by 286 child welfare workers. The sample was split in two subsamples, one to perform an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and the second to perform a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Results The CFA corroborate the three-factor structure that includes the children and adolescents’ resources, the family/caregiver’s resources and the community resources (χ2 = 278.005, df = 132, p < .001, CFI = 0.955, SRMR = .084, RMSEA = .061, [90% CI: .051-.071]). Results of convergent-related validity indicated significant correlation with CTQ-SF and protective factors dimension of C-CAPS. Discussion The results support that ACRAM-PFS is a rigorous measure for assessing protective factors for child maltreatment. The scale can serve as a key tool for designing strengths-based intervention strategies tailored to the actual needs of children and adolescents. The present study provides the implications for the development of protective factor scales in the field of child welfare.

“…Parenting education programs designed to prevent or respond when abuse has occurred are an important set of interventions and are especially effective when the interventions are tailored to meet the needs of both parents and children (Navarro et al, 2022). Research has demonstrated that outcomes are better for children who have experienced abuse when both parents/caregivers and adolescents are involved in treatment services, and various family-focused service models exist to improve family relationships and reduce emotional and behavioral problems in youth (Garland et al, 2013; Matthew et al, 2005).…”

This study investigates the outcomes of the Nurturing Parenting Program intervention with adolescents ages 13 to 19 from a variety of backgrounds according to self-reported demographic data and scores from the Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory 2 (AAPI-2). AAPI-2 scores were collected between 2006 and 2017 from a population of adolescents ( n = 846) prior to and immediately after receiving the Nurturing Parenting Program intervention. The program intervention significantly increased AAPI-2 scores overall and produced significant increases in specific positive attitudes. There were no significant changes from pre- to post-assessment-related to demographic factors. The Nurturing Parenting Program appears to be an effective prevention and intervention program for a broad array of adolescent populations to change attitudes related to abuse and neglect.
