Child Well-being

["Anna K. Hagemeister" <ahagemei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am interested in hearing  people's ideas about the 
most important indicators and/or measures of "child well-being" and 
"family well-being" in the context of child maltreatment, child 
welfare, and domestic violence.  This is for the purpose of 
evaluation, so program outcome indicators of these concepts.

 I am aware of the Child WellBeing Scales published by the CWLA and, 
I know that in terms of children's behavioral and emotional health 
the Achenbach CBCL is still often used. 

Here are my questions:

What are others?  and Where can I get them?

How does the conceptualization of "child well-being" differ from that 
of "family well-being?"

How do we simultaneously measure the safety and well-being of a 
battered mother in this same family?

Thank you for your help.
