Re: Neglect Scale
<x-html><HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Teresa,
<BR>
<BR>Our research examines childhood abuse and neglect experiences among newly admitted women to prison (n=1198) and its relationship to early onset of alcohol/drug use, delinquency, adult victimization, and HIV risk taking behaviors. Our seven item childhood neglect measure has an internal consistency of alpha=.83 and all items load on one factor (with factor loadings over .60) explaining over 53% variance among the seven items. If you are interested, just let me know and I will send you the interview items.

As a matter of policy we in Nevada Cooperative Extension train all of
our staff and volunteers regarding recognition and reporting of
suspected child abuse and neglect. As a volunteer with Girl Scouts I
also received training on this topic. We also have provided training
for youth recreation leaders in California and Nevada and at national
conferences for people from youth serving agencies across the United
States and Guam.
I agree with you that education can work to decrease incidence. These
educational programs provided for volunteers and staff working with
children in the general population, not in shelters.
Many of our materials regarding training for child abuse recognition
and reporting can be found online at:

I hope this addresses some of your concern.

Dear list members,
About a month ago I have sent a question to the list concerning routine
child abuse screening programs.
I did not get any answers - and I would like to share some thoughts with
you:
It is well known that one of the biggest problem concerning child abuse
- is the silent population that is very hard to identify.
Yet, despite of all the researches, congresses which underline the
importance of early identifying, there is almost no place that runs an
"on line" , routine, regular screening program. (I did try to search the
internet and that is more or less the situation that I found).
To make my self clear: I am NOT talking about programs that runs in
shelters or all kinds of clinics - but about the very regular child
population that attend only regular schools.
There are lots of "check - lists" filed up with symptoms that help
identify the abused child. Is one of them being used on a regular basis
in elementary schools to identify the abused child?
In the epidemiological point of view, to my humble opinion, increasing
the awareness of the educational staff , as well as increasing the
preventative programs , will help to decrees the incidence - the new
cases. But - what about all the "silent prevalence"?
What about all the children attending regular schools and are
experiencing all kinds of abuse ? As we all know there are allot of
them.
What is being done in order to identify them?
I would really appreciate any kind of feedback.
Thanks - Moshe.
