Neglect measures

["Steve J. Ondersma" <Steve-Ondersma@xxxxxxxxx>]

Margaret,

	You may have this one already, but the Ontario Child Neglect Index
appears to have good psychometrics and promising early validation.  It was
completed by child welfare workers in the original field trials.  The
reference is:

	Trocme', N. (1996).  Development and preliminary evaluation of the
Ontario Child Neglect Index.  Child Maltreatment, 1(2), 145-155.

	Hope this is helpful.
