Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child welfare caseworker assessments of problem substance use (PSU) can connect mothers to needs-based services and influence punitive consequences (e.g., substantiation of child maltreatment allegations, child removal, and termination of parental rights). This study evaluates caseworker and caregiver agreement and disagreement on PSU-status (i.e., when PSU is indicated by a caregiver or a caseworker, but not the other party) and how caregiver characteristics influence congruence or incongruence. Data were obtained from the National Study of Child and Adolescent Wellbeing-II. The sample included N=794 mothers who were reported to child welfare and had PSU, indicated via self-report (i.e., Drug Abuse Screening Test-10, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test) or caseworker report. We used multinomial regression to assess how caregiver characteristics (e.g., race, caregiver and child age, poverty) were associated with congruence of PSU indication by parents and caseworkers. Within-group differences according to race/ethnicity were also assessed. Our findings suggest that the congruence of indicated reports of PSU are influenced by caregiver race and child age, which may partially explain racial and child age-related disparities in child welfare outcomes. Black mothers were more likely to experience incongruent reports of PSU, suggesting that caseworker assessments may be inadequate or mis-represent Black mother's PSU-related needs.

Book Synopsis Caregiver Substance Use and Child Trauma by : Michele Staton-Tindall
Download or read book Caregiver Substance Use and Child Trauma written by Michele Staton-Tindall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research has consistently shown that there is a link between caregiver substance use and child maltreatment, but less attention has been given to child trauma exposure. The co-occurrence of caregiver substance misuse and child trauma exposure is a prevailing problem that has confounded social work prevention, protection, and treatment efforts with both children and adults for years. However, there has been minimal empirical and clinical literature focusing on child trauma as an outcome of caregiver substance use. This work is designed to be the catalyst for sustained intellectual inquiry about how caregiver substance use, child maltreatment, and violence exposure can be understood in theory and practice. To this end, the research presented in this book highlights the state of the science, the impact of the phenomenon, and the policy and practice questions that must be addressed. Implications for social work practice are highlighted in order to attenuate these deleterious and pervasive problems in the future. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions.

Book Synopsis Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect by : Kenneth Lau, LCSW
Download or read book Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse and Neglect written by Kenneth Lau, LCSW and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] concise and detailed description of a very complex issue...rich in detail and insight." --Leslie J. Temme, LCSW School of Social Work, Adelphi University "[A] 'must have' resource for practicing professionals and an invaluable teaching tool for social work students....This is precisely the book that mandated reporters seek to assist in the reporting process and understanding their legal obligations." --Keva M. Miller, PhD, LCSW School of Social Work, Portland State University In all states, social workers are required to report suspected child abuse and neglect, and face serious penalties if they fail to do so. But not all cases of abuse are obvious. Mandated reporters are thus confronted with a host of both legal and ethical quandaries when filing a report: What are the responsibilities of mandated reporters? What are appropriate grounds for reporting abuse? How and when should a report be made? Does reporting suspected abuse violate client confidentiality? What if my employer encourages me not to report my suspicions? Addressing these questions and more, this book provides clear definitions of different types of child abuse, including physical, sexual, and emotional, and delineates guidelines on how to identify risk factors and signs of child maltreatment. The authors also clarify difficult ethical issues, including client confidentiality and privileged communication, and present numerous case studies and theoretical vignettes culled from their own experiences as social workers. This guide will be the one resource mandated reporters and social work students cannot do without.

Book Synopsis New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research by : National Research Council
Download or read book New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year, child protective services receive reports of child abuse and neglect involving six million children, and many more go unreported. The long-term human and fiscal consequences of child abuse and neglect are not relegated to the victims themselves-they also impact their families, future relationships, and society. In 1993, the National Research Council (NRC) issued the report, Under-standing Child Abuse and Neglect, which provided an overview of the research on child abuse and neglect. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research updates the 1993 report and provides new recommendations to respond to this public health challenge. According to this report, while there has been great progress in child abuse and neglect research, a coordinated, national research infrastructure with high-level federal support needs to be established and implemented immediately. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research recommends an actionable framework to guide and support future child abuse and neglect research. This report calls for a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to child abuse and neglect research that examines factors related to both children and adults across physical, mental, and behavioral health domains-including those in child welfare, economic support, criminal justice, education, and health care systems-and assesses the needs of a variety of subpopulations. It should also clarify the causal pathways related to child abuse and neglect and, more importantly, assess efforts to interrupt these pathways. New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research identifies four areas to look to in developing a coordinated research enterprise: a national strategic plan, a national surveillance system, a new generation of researchers, and changes in the federal and state programmatic and policy response.
