The within poverty differences in the occurrence of physical neglect
2017, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Two studies only examined one risk factor for neglect (Brayden et al., 1992; Christensen et al., 1994), and another study's only measure of poverty was that the participants utilized a clinic for impoverished individuals (Brayden et al., 1992). All of these studies used CPS reports alone to determine whether the children had been neglected (Brayden et al., 1992; Christensen et al., 1994; Coohey, 1995, Slack et al., 2004), thus including only a small portion of children who were actually maltreated (Sedlak & Broadhurst, 1996). Such methodological limitations of past research may distort our understanding of risk and protective factors for neglect among impoverished families (Sedlak & Broadhurst, 1996).

2011, Children and Youth Services ReviewRisk and protective factors for child neglect during early childhood: A cross-study comparison
2011, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :Research on the correlates of child maltreatment in infancy and early childhood has shown a number of factors to be associated with abuse and neglect, including maternal age (Lee & Goerge, 1999; Slack, Holl, McDaniel, Yoo, & Bolger, 2004; Strathearn, Mamun, Najman, & O'Callaghan, 2009), family size and structure Brayden, Altemeier, Tucker, Dietrich, & Vietze, 1992; Epstein, 2002; Kotch et al., 1995; Kotch, Browne, Dufort, Winsor, & Catellier, 1999; Lee & Goerge, 1999; Windham, Rosenberg, Fuddy, McFarlane, Sia, & Duggan, 2004; Wu et al., 2004), parental education (Brayden et al., 1992; Hunter, Kilstrom, Kraybill, & Loda, 1978; Kotch et al., 1995, 1999; Slack et al., 2004; Strathearn et al., 2009; Wu et al., 2004), income and poverty (Lee & Goerge, 1999); public benefit receipt (Kotch et al., 1995, 1997; Wu et al., 2004), maternal employment (Slack et al., 2004); maternal mental health and substance abuse (Brayden et al., 1992; Christensen, Brayden, Dietrich, McLaughlin, & Sherrod, 1994; Epstein, 2002; Jaudes & Mackey-Bilaver, 2008; Kotch et al., 1995, 1999; Strathearn et al., 2009; Windham et al., 2004; Wu et al., 2004), social support (Brayden et al., 1992; Dukewich, Borkowski & Whitman, 1996; Hunter et al., 1978; Kotch et al., 1997, 1999); domestic violence (McGuigan & Pratt, 2001; Windham et al., 2004), parenting efficacy or stress (Brayden et al., 1992; Dukewich, Borkowski, & Whitman, 1996; Slack et al., 2004), and child health and behaviors (Brayden et al., 1992; Dukewich, Borkowski & Whitman, 1996; Hunter et al., 1978; Kotch et al., 1999; Wu et al., 2004). Several of these referenced studies involve prospective research designs with community- or population-based samples, as well as neglect-specific outcome measures (Brayden et al., 1992; Christensen et al., 1994; Epstein, 2002; Jaudes & Mackey-Bilaver, 2008; Kotch et al., 1995, 1999; McGuigan & Pratt, 2001; Slack et al., 2004; Wu et al., 2004). However, the specific measures employed across studies, coupled with other differences in study design, make it difficult to compare findings in a systematic way.
