| Summary |
| This grant provides fellowships to two faculty members and three doctoral students to conduct research on child maltreatment and to develop a Child Maltreatment Research Team within the University of Maryland School of Social Work. The four studies will provide partial replications and extensions of previously conducted child maltreatment research. In addition, all will use data that have previously been collected with NCCAN and other Federal agency funding and, consequently, will be able to capitalize on existing data sets. Two of the projects will focus on developing models of relationships between child maltreatment and constructs derived from ecological theory. Another is designed to examine community-level indicators of child maltreatment and will provide a partial replication of Coulton's Ecological Study of Child Maltreatment. The fourth will complete a 5-year followup of families who had substantiated reports for child sexual abuse and received an innovative child protective services treatment program. All four studies will contribute to child maltreatment research, policy, and practice. |
