This longitudinal study of child abuse and neglect cases closed after investigation examined the impact of parental substance abuse on family functioning and on subsequent referrals to child protective services. The findings support the hypothesis that parental substance abuse would have a negative impact on family functioning, which, in turn, would result in a higher rate of re-reports. As expected, substance abuse also had a direct impact on re-reports. It is critical that the child welfare system recognize and respond to parental substance abuse problems in these families through expanded and improved voluntary, and perhaps, mandatory services.
这项针对经调查结案的虐待和忽视儿童案件的纵向研究，考察了父母药物滥用对家庭功能以及随后转介至儿童保护服务机构的影响。研究结果支持了这样的假设，即父母药物滥用会对家庭功能产生负面影响，进而导致再次报告的比率更高。不出所料，药物滥用对再次报告也有直接影响。至关重要的是，儿童福利系统应通过扩大和改善自愿性服务，或许还包括强制性服务，来识别并应对这些家庭中父母的药物滥用问题。
