Although the literature consistently shows an association between parental substance use disorders (SUDs) and child abuse, it is unknown what factors discern non-abusive and abusive parents with SUDs. This study aims to investigate which specific risk factors are associated with child abuse in clinically treated parents with SUDs in the Netherlands. It examines two groups of parents with SUDs in a clinical setting, with and without known instances of child abuse. These groups were compared on SUD-related factors such as the type and severity of the SUDs, and variables addressing psychological disability such as comorbid diagnoses and quality of life. Other than a marginally significant difference in severity of addiction and a lower mean age of the parents in the child abuse group, no significant differences were found. The small sample size and the inherent difficulty of studying SUDs in a clinical sample is likely to have affected the results.
尽管文献一直表明父母物质使用障碍（SUDs）与虐待儿童之间存在关联，但尚不清楚哪些因素能区分有SUDs的非虐待型和虐待型父母。本研究旨在调查荷兰临床上接受治疗的患有SUDs的父母中，哪些特定风险因素与虐待儿童有关。该研究在临床环境中考察了两组患有SUDs的父母，一组有已知的虐待儿童事件，另一组没有。对这些组在SUD相关因素（如SUDs的类型和严重程度）以及涉及心理残疾的变量（如共病诊断和生活质量）方面进行了比较。除了成瘾严重程度存在微小显著差异以及虐待儿童组的父母平均年龄较低外，未发现显著差异。样本量小以及在临床样本中研究SUDs的固有困难可能影响了研究结果。
