This study examined the relationship between receipt of child care subsidies and child maltreatment investigations in a sample of low‐income mothers in Illinois. We expected that receiving child care subsidies would have a protective effect on child maltreatment risk and therefore decrease the likelihood of child protective services investigations. Using structural equation modelling, we tested the...

Journal of Family Violence > 2019 > 34 > 4 > 299-308

Mothers who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk for experiencing workplace instability in the form of absence from paid employment and job loss. In a cross-sectional study, we investigate if experiences of IPV inhibit work stability among low-income women as well as if the receipt of child care subsidies has a moderating effect on the relationship. Using data from the...

Children and Youth Services Review > 2018 > 91 > C > 364-371

Parental history of childhood maltreatment victimization is a widely studied risk factor for child maltreatment perpetration, a process referred to as the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment (ITCM). Using a sample of mothers receiving welfare in Illinois, we examined how maternal history of physical abuse and neglect was associated with perpetration of physical abuse and neglect against...

Individual and Cumulative Risks for Child Abuse and Neglect

Mi‐Youn Yang, Kathryn Maguire‐Jack

Family Relations > 67 > 2 > 287 - 301

Objective The present study investigated whether risk factors vary by subtypes of child maltreatment investigations, with particular attention to the role of cumulative risks affecting child maltreatment. Background Building and expanding on prior work finding that the accumulation of risk factors puts children at risk for maltreatment, this work examines child physical abuse and neglect investigations...

Predictors of basic needs and supervisory neglect: Evidence from the Illinois Families Study

Mi-Youn Yang, Kathryn Maguire-Jack

Children and Youth Services Review > 2016 > 67 > C > 20-26

Approximately 80% of the over 3 million reports of child maltreatment each year are due to concerns of child neglect (United States Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 2015). The literature is growing, but relatively little is known about the predictors of the subtypes of neglect. The current study uses data from the Illinois Families Study to run fixed effects logistic regression models...

Kristen S. Slack, Bomi Kim, Mi-Youn Yang, Lawrence M. Berger

Children and Youth Services Review > 2014 > 46 > C > 213-219

Following the passage of welfare reform in the mid-1990s and the end of entitlement benefits under Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the U.S. economic safety net has become increasingly individualized. In fact, it is no longer clear whether low-income families tend to rely on particular types of public benefits, or whether there are characteristics that differentiate benefit “packaging”.This...

Kristen Shook Slack, Lawrence M. Berger, Kimberly DuMont, Mi-Youn Yang, more

Children and Youth Services Review > 2011 > 33 > 8 > 1354-1363

The present analysis relies upon data from three separate longitudinal studies to identify risk and protective factors associated with subsequent neglect during early childhood. All three studies (Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing [FFCW]; Healthy Families New York [HFNY]; Illinois Families Study-Child Wellbeing [IFS]) involve probabilistic samples or subsamples of low-income families with young...
