Child Maltreatment
“ANY RECENT ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT ON THE PART OF A PARENT OR
CARETAKER WHICH RESULTS IN DEATH, SERIOUS PHYSICAL OR EMOTIONAL
HARM, SEXUAL ABUSE OR EXPLOITATION; OR AN ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT,
WHICH PRESENTS AN IMMINENT RISK OF SERIOUS HARM.”

Neurocognitive effects of chronic stress

Chronic stress may result in more prefrontal dopamine than is
functionally necessary causing impaired functioning (inattention,
hypervigilance, social / learning problems)

Prefrontal cortex; executive functioning, decision making, working
memory, activated in novelty or danger

Chronic stress “turn off” frontal inhibition impairing these functions

Implications for adolescent risk-behaviors; substance use, risky sexual
behaviors

What is child maltreatment prevention?
Primary – prevent maltreatment BEFORE it happens
Secondary – prevent another problem that stems
from child maltreatment (Intervention)
Targeted – prevent child maltreatment from
occurring in an at-risk group
Embedded – prevent other public health problems
by embedding primary prevention programs
within child welfare
Thinking about “Embedded Prevention”
within the child welfare system?
Abused children are at high risk for a host of
conditions of grave public health concern:
-teen pregnancy (Noll & Shenk, 2013
-obesity (Noll, et al, 2007)
-substance use (Fergusson, 2010)
Children already in the child welfare system
are prime targets for primary prevention of
other public health problems
