One percent of all children in the United States are estimated to be abused or neglected each year, equating to about 700,000 children per year. Limited parenting skills are one of the most robust risk factors for child abuse and neglect. The present paper describes the Family Check-Up (FCU), a trauma-informed, strengths-based and comprehensive family management intervention aimed at promoting positive parenting skills, reducing child maladaptive behaviors, and optimizing child and family outcomes. By evaluating various ecological and contextual factors, the FCU targets a range of parenting and child behavior difficulties to prevent child abuse/neglect, while improving long-term child and family outcomes.
据估计，美国每年有1%的儿童遭受虐待或忽视，相当于每年约70万名儿童。有限的育儿技能是虐待和忽视儿童最有力的风险因素之一。本文介绍了家庭检查（FCU），这是一种基于创伤知情、优势视角的综合性家庭管理干预措施，旨在促进积极的育儿技能，减少儿童适应不良行为，并优化儿童和家庭的结局。通过评估各种生态和背景因素，家庭检查针对一系列育儿和儿童行为问题，以预防虐待/忽视儿童，同时改善儿童和家庭的长期结局。
