Screens for the detection of physical child abuse in parents or primary caregivers. Age range:. Qualification level:. B B A degree from an accredited 4-year college or university in psychology, counseling, speech-language pathology, or a closely related field plus satisfactory completion of coursework in test interpretation, psychometrics and measurement theory, educational statistics, or a closely related area; or license or certification from an agency that requires appropriate training and experience in the ethical and competent use of psychological tests.
Features and benefits This item self-report screening instrument is given to the parent or caregiver who is suspected of abuse. Contains three validity scales: Lie, Random Response, and Inconsistency. Manual includes information about administration, scoring, and interpretation procedures; an Interpretive Manual for the Child Abuse Potential Inventory provides additional information for interpretation of the CAPI, including applications, limitations, scale descriptions, and references.
Technical information The Abuse scale has high internal consistency reliabilities. J Clin Child Adolesc Psychol. Author manuscript; available in PMC Jul 1.

Measurement of Child Abuse Potential When investigating child maltreatment, it is important to consider method of measurement because the information will vary depending on the data source.
The Developmental-Ecological Model of Child Maltreatment Over the past three decades, researchers have put an increasing emphasis on understanding the overlapping contributions that individual and environmental factors or variables have on child outcomes as discussed by Bronfenbrenner in his seminal work.
Household characteristics Household disorganization also may be associated with abuse occurrence Elmer, , as a disorganized home is related to the stressful home environment. Caregiver-child interactions Abusive versus non-abusive caregivers have been distinguished in the nature of their interactions with children.
Neighborhood characteristics, community, and social support Findings from a recent literature review indicated that reports to CPS were concentrated to disadvantaged neighborhoods and that negative neighborhood characteristics e.
Theoretical Contributions Researchers in the child maltreatment area have examined several theoretical models to describe the multiple risk markers involved in predicting child abuse potential.
Open in a separate window. Figure 1. Cumulative risk model The cumulative risk model assumes that the more risk markers endorsed, irrespective of their nature, the higher the potential for negative outcomes.
Aims of the Current Study Thus, to date, there have been a handful of empirical studies examining how specific risk markers contribute to child abuse potential. Method The current study used data from a large intervention project, Parenting Our Children to Excellence PACE , and relied exclusively on data collected before any intervention took place. Parent abused as a child 1 2. Parent stress. Child age.
Parent age. Parent marital Status. Parent employ status. Household disorganize. Family size. Neighborhood characteristics. Parent inv in neigh. CAPI Scores. Sociodemographic characteristics Parental ethnicity, age, marital status, income level, educational attainment, and employment status were obtained from each parent.
Neighborhood characteristics The Dangerous Neighborhood Questionnaire NB is a item scale, used to evaluate neighborhood quality.
Parental involvement in the neighborhood The Parent Involvement subscale of the Neighborhood Services and Activities Questionnaire NCR was used to assess parental involvement in the neighborhood. Cumulative Risk Model Procedures for calculating cumulative risk followed those of Appleyard et al.
Discussion Researchers in the child maltreatment area have proposed several theoretical frameworks to understand how various risk markers are organized and contribute to the prediction of child abuse potential. Limitations One major limitation in this study stemmed from the low scores on the CAPI which may have affected positive predictive power. Implications for Future Research, Policy, and Practice While results from the current study contribute to the child maltreatment area, further research on risk for child abuse potential is warranted.
Acknowledgment This study would not have been possible without the collaboration of Marsha Hearn-Lindsey, Director, Child Care Answers, Indianapolis, of all the parents and children who participated in various aspects of the research, and of staff members who played major roles in data collection and program implementation, including Amanda Mosby, Sharon Hampton, and Stephanie Wynder.
