Deployment Family Stress: Child Neglect and Maltreatment in U.S. Army Families
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to understand the recently documented increase in rates of child maltreatment and neglect in the US Army. The project employs a three prong research methodology (using clinical chart reviews, survey methodology of key informants, and demographic community analyses) to: 1) facilitate understanding of the phenomenology of Army child neglect, 2)identify child, parent, and family risk and protective factors that contribute to neglect, 3) identify military community contributions to neglect, including deployment, and 4) identify surrounding community factors that may also contribute risk or protection to child neglect behaviors. Key accomplishments for Year 2 of the study include: identification of team leaders to operationalize the data collection for major parts of the study (e.g., set up trips for data collection for clinical record review, on site data collection of key stakeholders, etc.); obtain CITI and other required credentials for off site POCs; develop "Plan of Action" charts to track activities across Prongs; obtained USUHS IRB approval.
