Abstract
Description
While parental substance abuse alone does not constitute child maltreatment, there are a number of situations in which maltreatment and substance abuse intersect. A secondary analysis of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS) recently examined the association between confirmed caregiver substance abuse and substantiated cases of child maltreatment. This article illustrates the complexity of the factors contributing to child maltreatment and shows how CIS research has contributed to a better understanding of these interactions.
