The Future of Children: Preventing Child Maltreatment Features Chapin Hall Researchers |
|
|
Chapin
Hall researchers have contributed several articles to Preventing Child Maltreatment, the
Fall 2009 volume of The Future of Children. The volume presents the best available research
on policies and programs designed to prevent child maltreatment.
Matthew Stagner
and Jiffy Lansing chart developments in the field of child maltreatment
and propose a new framework for preventing child abuse and neglect. Fred Wulczyn explores how data on the
incidence and distribution of child maltreatment shed light on planning and
implementing maltreatment prevention programs.
Deborah
Daro worked with Kenneth Dodge, director of the Center for
Child and Family Policy
Center at Duke University,
to examine five different community prevention efforts, summarizing for
each both the theory of change and the empirical evidence concerning its
efficacy.

Inside the Research: Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
|
|
|
Over half of the Illinois grandparents who assume the care of their
children's children do so for longer than 5 years. During this period
of time, they must grapple with changes in their own physical and
mental health, as well as those of the children in their care.
A Chapin Hall study of grandparents raising grandchildren explores
grandparents' well-being, their perceptions of the children's
well-being and needs, and the degree to which they are both accessing
services to ameliorate their problems.
