Clinical research has documented a variety of problems that abused and neglected children present as a result of their having been maltreated. When these children enter protective custody, however, they rarely receive systematic screening and/or assessment of their current mental health functioning as a part of case management. The Screening and Evaluation Project (SEP) is a clinical research study examining the range of problems in 167 children entering protective custody. Both empirical and theoretical grounds support the importance of early screening and evaluation programs for children in these circumstances. Practical issues in implementing such programs are also discussed.
临床研究记录了受虐待和被忽视儿童因遭受虐待而出现的各种问题。然而，当这些儿童进入保护性监护时，作为个案管理的一部分，他们很少接受对其当前心理健康状况的系统筛查和/或评估。筛查与评估项目（SEP）是一项临床研究，旨在调查167名进入保护性监护的儿童所面临的一系列问题。经验和理论依据均支持在这些情况下为儿童开展早期筛查和评估项目的重要性。文中还讨论了实施此类项目的实际问题。
