Preventing child abuse and neglect with parent training: Evidence and opportunities.
Abstract
Researchers have identified four common co-occurring parental risk factors—substance abuse,
mental illness, domestic violence, and child conduct problems—that lead to child maltreatment. The extent to which maltreatment prevention programs must directly address these risk
factors to improve responsiveness to parenting programs or can directly focus on improving
parenting skills, says Richard Barth, remains uncertain.
