Session Number: 39 Room: Salon I

Presenting: Diana English; Holly Echo-Hawk

All Authors for this paper: Diana English; Holly Echo-Hawk

Presentation Type: brief symposium

Synopsis: Neglected children are the largest single group of children who experience maltreatment and yet are less likely to be prioritized for intervention until a "pattern" of neglect has emerged. This presentation will provide information on incidence of neglect, key risk factors and service provision (or the lack thereof) within child protective services from a national perspective. After a broad overview, data from two studies will provide information on short term developmental, adaptive and social emotional outcomes through age eight, and longer term psychiatric, social and behavioral outcomes through adulthood will be presented.
