  <DIV><BR></DIV>Hello David,<BR>I have some observational measures of child 
  abuse potential and positive parent-child interactions that were used in a 
  large multi-site home visiting program with children birth to five years of 
  age. The families were considered "at-risk" and abuse was confirmed by the 
  state in a percentage of these families. You can contact me directly at <A

    to tap into your collective expertise for a moment.&nbsp; I am conducting a 
    longitudinal study of married couples, all of whom have been married less 
    than three years.&nbsp; The main goal of the project is to examine how 
    self-reported child maltreatment history in some of these couples is related 
    to current and ongoing marital functioning.&nbsp; At the same time, however, 
    many of the couples are starting to have children.&nbsp; Thus, I am quite 
    interested in how parental maltreatment history in its various forms may be 
    related to initial parenting practices and parent-child relationships.&nbsp; 
    Regarding this issue, I have two main questions: <BR><BR>1.&nbsp; What 
    parenting and/or parent-child constructs seem most relevant to a history of 
    parental abuse?&nbsp; (currently, the children are all under the age of 
    2)<BR><BR>2.&nbsp; What instruments (self-report or observational) would you 
    use to measure these constructs?<BR><BR>I am happy to reply individually 
    with more details, but thought that this might stimulate some 
    thinking.&nbsp; If people reply back channel, I will compile responses and 
    send them to the list.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance for your 
    assistance.<BR><BR>David DiLillo, Ph.D.<BR>Associate Professor<BR>Department
