Children on Child Protective Service Caseloads: Prevalence and Nature of Serious Emotional Disturbance.

Trupin, Eric W.; And Others

Child Abuse and Neglect: The International Journal, v17 n3 p345-55 May-Jun 1993

A multivariate, criterion-referenced approach was used to assess prevalence of serious emotional disturbance among children on protective service case loads. Of 140 recipients of protective services, 72% were statistically indistinguishable from children in Washington State's most intensive mental health treatment programs. School problems, substance abuse, and antisocial behaviors were common. Service needs are outlined. (Author/DB)
