2019, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :The majority of existing literature on risk factors has focused on maternal samples thereby limiting our understanding of paternal parenting practices and beliefs contributing to child maltreatment risk (Behl, Conyngham, & May, 2003; Lee, Guterman, & Lee, 2008; Stith et al., 2009). Fathers comprise a substantial proportion of physical abuse perpetrators, in which nearly half of all physical maltreatment involves a father-figure (Sedlak et al., 2010), and fathers are likely to engage in the most serious forms of child maltreatment (Brewster et al., 1998; Stiffman, Schnitzer, Adam, Kruse, & Ewigman, 2002). Some researchers have focused on paternal risk factors for PCA and the perpetration of abuse (e.g., Ellonen, Peltonen, Pösö, & Janson, 2017; Lee, Perron, Taylor, & Guterman, 2011, 2008), whereas others have considered factors relevant for both mothers and fathers (Ammerman, Kolko, Kirisci, Blackson, & Dawes, 1999; Florsheim et al., 2003; Rodriguez et al., 2016a; Rodriguez, Smith, & Silvia, 2016b, Rodriguez et al., 2019; Schaeffer, Alexander, Bethke, & Kretz, 2005; Smith Slep & O’leary, 2007; Tucker et al., 2017).
Who's Watching the Children? Caregiver Features Associated with Physical Child Abuse versus Accidental Injury
2019, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :We used 3 metrics to mark injury severity: abnormal GCS score, admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and death. Abnormal GCS scores were classified as mild/moderate9-14 and severe.3-8,17 We calculated aORs with 95% CIs from logistic regression models with the presence of individual caregivers as factors to assess the relationships between types of caregivers and abuse.
