Inclusion of certain aspects of animal-human relationships (AHR), such as animal abuse and animal-assisted interventions, can enhance child welfare practice and there are resources available to promote such inclusion. However, there is little knowledge of whether this is being accomplished. This study sought to fill this gap by conducting a national survey of state public child welfare agencies to examine AHR in child protective services practice, their assessment tools, and cross-reporting policies.
纳入动物与人类关系（AHR）的某些方面，如虐待动物和动物辅助干预，可以加强儿童福利实践，并且有资源可用于促进这种纳入。然而，对于这一点是否正在实现却知之甚少。本研究试图通过对州公共儿童福利机构进行全国性调查来填补这一空白，以考察儿童保护服务实践中的动物与人类关系、其评估工具及交叉报告政策。
