Re: case vignettes

["William A . Meezan" <meezan@xxxxxxxxx>]

While they do not take cultural competence into account, the vignettes
that have been used most in the field are those that were developed by
Giovannoni and Becerra in Defining Child Abuse.  Susan Rose, and Rose and
Meezan, have used a number of these, coupled with others derived the Child
Level of Living Scale, to come up with vignettes about neglect.  

Hope this helps.
