members,<BR>><BR>>I am in need of references to research studies that
examine the <BR>relationship between a history of child maltreatment and
<BR>academic/school performance in childhood and adulthood. I am
<BR>particularly interested in studies that look at the effects of child
<BR>maltreatment on learning and educational attainment in childhood and
<BR>adulthood. Any references to studies that examine theories for
<BR>explaining poorer academic performance and lower educational attainment
<BR>in child maltreatment survivors are greatly appreciated as
well.<BR>><BR>>Marion Burke<BR>><BR>> ----- Original Message

Subject: Assessing Maltreatment Status<BR>><BR>><BR>> Dear List
serve members,<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> I am a
graduate student at Capella University, currently finalizing <BR>my dissertation
proposal that examines the differential outcomes of <BR>single versus multiple
child abuse and neglect experiences. I intend to <BR>use the Comprehensive Child
Maltreatment Scale (CCMS) for Adults <BR>(Higgins & McCabe, 2001) in order
to assess abuse/non-abuse status in <BR>an Internet community sample. The CCMS
is a retrospective self-report <BR>measure of childhood abuse and neglect
experiences designed for a <BR>nonclinical population. The department chair of
my specialization, who <BR>is not familiar with the child maltreatment
literature, is concerned <BR>that the use of this measure may cause potential
problems due to the <BR>sensitive nature of the questions. He is worried that
participants may <BR>have adverse reactions to this questionnaire, and that
potential legal <BR>ramifications may result. Here is where I need some
input:<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> Does anyone have
knowledge of or has had experiences with <BR>participants who had adverse
reactions to questionnaires that are used <BR>to retrospectively establish
maltreatment status? Does anyone have <BR>knowledge of legal consequences that
resulted due to the use of such <BR>questionnaires? What precautions could be
taken to reduce the <BR>likelihood of adverse reactions to sensitive questions?
What options do <BR>I have to assess for abuse histories without the use of such
<BR>questionnaires?<BR>><BR>> <BR>><BR>> Any
feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated.<BR>><BR>>
<BR>><BR>> Best regards,<BR>><BR>>
