Perceptions of Child Neglect among Urban American Indian/Alaska Native Parents
Evans-Campbell, Teresa
Child Welfare, v87 n3 p115-142 2008
A survey of 101 American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) parents in Los Angeles was conducted to explore perceptions of child neglect among urban AIAN parents and factors associated with perceptions. Participants rated substance abuse by parents as the most serious type of neglect. Providing material necessities and providing adequate structure were ranked as the least serious types of neglect. Gender, education, marital status, and indirect experience with Child Protective Services were significantly related to perceptions of neglect among urban AIAN parents. (Contains 5 tables.)
