The purpose of this review was to synthesize the empirical literature regarding key risk and protective factors for child maltreatment at each level of the socioecological model and to identify directions for future research and practice.
Prior research has largely focused on risk and protective factors at the individual and interpersonal levels of the socioecological model. More recently, research has begun to examine risk and protective factors at the community and societal levels, with results suggesting that programmatic and policy interventions that reduce risk and enhance protection at these levels are promising primary prevention strategies for child maltreatment.
Future research should continue to focus on risk and protective factors at the community and societal levels with the aim of building the evidence base for population-wide prevention strategies. Such strategies have the potential to create contexts in which families and children thrive.
本综述的目的是综合关于社会生态模型各层面儿童虐待关键风险和保护因素的实证文献,并确定未来研究和实践的方向。
先前的研究主要集中在社会生态模型的个体和人际层面的风险和保护因素。最近,研究开始考察社区和社会层面的风险和保护因素,结果表明在这些层面减少风险和加强保护的项目和政策干预措施是有前景的儿童虐待初级预防策略。
未来的研究应继续关注社区和社会层面的风险和保护因素,旨在为全人群预防策略建立证据基础。此类策略有可能创造家庭和儿童茁壮成长的环境。
