• Development and Implementation of Trauma-Informed Programming in Youth Residential Treatment Centers Using the ARC Framework (2013, background): “In the most recent National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS-4; Sedlak et al. 2010), biological parents were identified as the perpetrators of 81 % of substantiated cases of child maltreatment in the United States, with nonbiological parents and their partners, and other family member”
• The Economic Burden of Child Maltreatment in the United States And Implications for Prevention (2012, positive): “According to NIS-4, the most recent NIS data available, an estimated 1,256,600 children experienced maltreatment using the “Harm Standard,” and an estimated 2,905,800 children experienced maltreatment using the broader “Endangerment Standard” during the 2005–2006 study year (Sedlak et al., 2010).”
• Unseen wounds: The contribution of psychological maltreatment to child and adolescent mental health and risk outcomes. (2014, background): “PM is also less likely to be investigated: 53% of physical abuse and 55% of sexual abuse reports, but only 36% of PM reports, were investigated in 2009 (Sedlak et al., 2010).”
• Mothers, Fathers, Families, and Circumstances: Factors Affecting Children's Adjustment (2012, background): “…raised in impoverished circumstances are not only at greater risk for abuse (e.g., Cawson, Wattam, Brooker, & Kelly, 2000; Radford et al., 2011; Sedlak et al., 2010) but also at risk of psychological maladjustment in a number of domains, including signs of psychopathology, poor social skills,…”
• Research to Consider While Effectively Re-Designing Child Welfare Services (2021, background): “Low-income children are reported to CPS at higher rates than other children (Kim, Drake, & Jonson-Reid, 2018; PutnamHornstein & Needell, 2011; Sedlak et al., 2010).”
• Assessing the Reliability of Retrospective Reports of Adverse Childhood Experiences among Adolescents with Documented Childhood Maltreatment (2014, background): “This approach considers that several abuse survivors were not identified as children (Sedlak et al. 2010) and that the possibility of bias is negligible (Hardt and Rutter 2004).”
• Caution! Men not at work: Gender-specific labor market conditions and child maltreatment (2018, neutral): “According to a 2010 report to Congress based on the Fourth National Incidence Study (NIS4) of Child Abuse and Neglect (Sedlak et al. 2010), more than 1.”
• Child welfare involvement and contexts of poverty: The role of parental adversities, social networks, and social services (2017, background): “Perhaps unsurprisingly, these adversities frequently co-occur with child welfare involvement (Hazen, Connelly, Kelleher, Landsverk, & Barth, 2004; McGuigan & Pratt 2001; Phillips, Burns, Wagner, & Barth, 2004; Sedlak et al., 2010; Slack et al., 2007; Taylor, Guterman, Lee, & Rathouz, 2009).”
• Stress and parenting during the global COVID-19 pandemic (2020, neutral): “…may occur from stressors that result from economic hardship, low education, single parenthood, or a large number of dependent children (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2020b; Sedlak et al., 2010), among others, but that might not otherwise impact persons outside of the family.”
