Paid family leave (PFL) policies provide caregivers with essential time away from work to care for their infants, potentially alleviating economic stressors that contribute to infant neglect. While prior research suggests that PFL reduces infant maltreatment risk, its relationship with neglect, specifically, remains understudied. This study examines whether PFL implementation influences neglect rates and whether this relationship varies by the racial composition of state populations from 2003 to 2022. We analyze state-level neglect data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, constructing a longitudinal panel dataset across 44 states and Washington, DC. Using mixed effects beta regression, we assess whether state-level shares of residents identifying as people of color (POC), Black, American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN), Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI), or Hispanic/Latinx moderate the relationship between PFL and neglect rates.

Findings indicate that overall, neglect rates increased from 2003 to 2022. Nevertheless, PFL states exhibited a significantly shallower growth in neglect compared to non-PFL states. State-level shares of POC residents moderated the effects of PFL on the trajectory of infant neglect. While PFL was associated with lower neglect rates, these policies’ effects were more pronounced in states with higher shares of POC residents. These findings suggest that PFL may serve as a protective factor against rising neglect rates, particularly in racially diverse states. This study underscores the need for policy approaches that account for structural inequities in access to family-supportive benefits.

带薪家庭假（PFL）政策为照顾者提供了必要的工作时间来照顾婴儿，可能减轻导致婴儿被忽视的经济压力。虽然先前的研究表明，PFL降低了婴儿虐待的风险，但它与忽视的关系，特别是，仍未得到充分研究。本研究考察了PFL的实施是否影响忽视率，以及这种关系是否因2003年至2022年州人口的种族构成而变化。我们分析了来自国家儿童虐待和忽视数据系统的州级忽视数据，构建了横跨44个州和华盛顿特区的纵向面板数据集。使用混合效应beta回归，我们评估了被认定为有色人种（POC）、黑人、美洲印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民（AIAN）、亚裔美国人/太平洋岛民（AAPI）或西班牙裔/拉丁裔的州一级居民份额是否调节了PFL和忽视率之间的关系。研究结果表明，总体而言，从2003年到2022年，忽视率有所上升。然而，与非PFL状态相比，PFL状态的忽视增长明显较浅。在国家层面上，被忽视家庭居民的比例调节了被忽视家庭对婴儿被忽视轨迹的影响。虽然PFL与较低的忽视率相关，但这些政策的影响在POC居民比例较高的州更为明显。这些发现表明，PFL可能是防止忽视率上升的保护因素，特别是在种族多元化的州。这项研究强调需要采取政策办法，解释在获得家庭支助福利方面的结构性不平等。

This scoping review examined research on Indigenous youths’ experiences as they transition to independence, and out of the child welfare system. Key topics included homelessness, barriers to cultural connections, mistrust of the welfare system, and contact with the criminal justice system as cross-over youths. Themes identified in this scoping review are Cultural Support for Transitions, Housing and Homelessness, Criminal Justice and Incarceration, and Social and Structural Determinants. Recommendations emphasized the extension of government support beyond 18 years of age and maintaining youth connections to family, community and culture. The review highlighted the need for more Indigenous-led research to better represent and address these issues.

这个范围审查审查的研究土著青年的经验，因为他们过渡到独立，并从儿童福利制度。主要议题包括无家可归、文化联系障碍、对福利制度的不信任，以及作为跨界青年与刑事司法系统的接触。本次范围审查确定的主题是：对转型的文化支持、住房和无家可归、刑事司法和监禁以及社会和结构决定因素。建议强调将政府支助扩大到18岁以上，并保持青年与家庭、社区和文化的联系。审查强调需要更多由土著主导的研究，以便更好地代表和解决这些问题。

Objective

Many countries face a shortfall in the number of foster families needed to support maltreated children. This study aims to explore the drivers and barriers to becoming a foster family and to identify clusters derived from these drivers/barriers and their association with sociodemographic factors.

Method

A representative sample of 1,066 Portuguese adults (M_age = 52.76, SD = 14.92) responded to a survey assessing sociodemographic characteristics, awareness, willingness, and intention to foster and two open-ended questions related with enablers and barriers to becoming foster carers.

Results

Three profiles emerged: Material Resources (9.2% of participants), linked to material factors such as housing and economic resources; Personal Traits and Characteristics (23.0% of participants), associating the decision to become a foster family with various individual attributes and capabilities; and Child-centered Motivations (67.8% of participants), where the drivers to become a foster family focused on children and altruistic motivations, and barriers centered on personal and familial fears and threats, and child protection constraints. Differences regarding awareness, willingness and intention to foster, gender, marital status, education, family income, and having children significantly distinguished clusters.

Conclusions

The identification of these profiles, based on enablers and barriers to becoming a foster parent, can inform tailoring recruitment strategies that align with the specific needs and characteristics of prospective foster families.

许多国家面临着抚养受虐待儿童所需的寄养家庭数量不足的问题。本研究旨在探讨成为寄养家庭的驱动因素和障碍，并确定来自这些驱动因素/障碍的集群及其与社会人口因素的关联。方法对1066名葡萄牙成年人（Mage = 52.76, SD = 14.92）的代表性样本进行调查，评估社会人口学特征、意识、意愿和寄养意图，以及与成为寄养照顾者的促进因素和障碍相关的两个开放式问题。主要有三个方面：物质资源（9.2%的参与者），与住房和经济资源等物质因素有关；个人特质和特征（23.0%的参与者），将成为寄养家庭的决定与各种个人特质和能力联系起来；以儿童为中心的动机（67.8%的参与者），其中成为寄养家庭的驱动因素主要是儿童和利他动机，障碍主要是个人和家庭的恐惧和威胁，以及儿童保护的限制。在认知度、抚养意愿和意向、性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、家庭收入和是否有孩子等方面，差异显著。结论：根据成为寄养父母的有利因素和障碍，对这些特征进行识别，可以根据潜在寄养家庭的具体需求和特征，为定制招聘策略提供信息。

Background

Commonly, youth in the justice system (YIJS) experience mental health concerns that are often accompanied by an unmet need for mental health and substance use services. Currently, guidelines for mental health and substance use treatment for youth involved in the justice system are often unclear, particularly regarding how assessments and services should be implemented in practice.

Methods

The current work focused on virtual semi-structured focus groups with 30 mental health service providers (MHSP) from two Canadian provinces to explore areas for improvement with respect to guidelines for mental health and substance use treatment for mental health guidelines for youth involved in the justice system. An integrated knowledge translation approach was also employed to maximize the relevance and impact of this research.

Results

There was a lack of clear guidelines for mental health services to youth involved in the justice system. While MHSP were guided in their work by broader principles such as trauma-informed care and client-centered care, a clear process outlining the path to frontline implementation when serving YIJS was lacking. Participants recommended the development of guidelines serving YIJS that consider the diversity and complex needs of this population, incorporate the voices of such youth and their families, and consider the diverse skills and resources of those involved in the provision of mental health services.

Conclusions

Overall, this study supports the development of clear guidelines that can enhance mental health services and promote positive outcomes for youth involved in the justice system.

背景通常，司法系统中的青少年（YIJS）会遇到精神卫生问题，往往伴随着对精神卫生和药物使用服务的需求未得到满足。目前，司法系统中涉及的青少年的精神健康和药物使用治疗准则往往不明确，特别是在如何在实践中实施评估和服务方面。方法目前的工作重点是与来自加拿大两个省的30个精神卫生服务提供者（MHSP）进行虚拟半结构化焦点小组，探讨司法系统中涉及的青少年精神卫生指南和物质使用治疗指南的改进领域。为了最大限度地提高本研究的相关性和影响力，我们还采用了综合知识翻译方法。结果司法系统中青少年的心理健康服务缺乏明确的指导方针。虽然MHSP的工作受到创伤知情护理和以客户为中心的护理等更广泛原则的指导，但在为YIJS提供服务时，缺乏一个明确的流程，概述了一线实施的路径。与会者建议为青少年青少年制定指南，考虑到这一群体的多样性和复杂需求，纳入这些青少年及其家庭的声音，并考虑到提供精神卫生服务的人员的不同技能和资源。总的来说，本研究支持制定明确的指导方针，可以加强精神卫生服务，促进青少年参与司法系统的积极结果。

Education is a fundamental driver of individual growth and societal progress and plays a critical role in fostering personal development and social mobility. Academic performance serves as a key indicator of educational outcomes and reflects various factors that contribute to students’ success. This study investigated the combined effects of the family education environment, educational investment, and students’ self-regulation on academic performance. We utilized a longitudinal dataset from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) and analyzed follow-up data from 913 primary school students in grades 2–6 collected over three waves (2016–2020). A generalized linear mixed model was employed to assess the impact of the family education environment, educational investment, and self-regulation on academic performance. The findings showed that a supportive family education environment characterized by higher parental education levels and educational expectations positively impacts students’ academic performance (OR = 1.17, 95 % CI 1.04–1.29; OR = 1.57, 95 % CI 1.45–1.77). Greater family investment in education, especially financial expenditure, can further enhance academic performance (OR = 1.12, 95 % CI 1.05–1.19). Higher levels of self-regulation significantly increase the likelihood of achieving good and excellent grades (OR = 1.64, 95 % CI 1.46–1.85). The study confirms the importance of integrating family support with individual student capabilities for optimal academic outcomes. These findings underscore the need for educators and policymakers to focus on enhancing self-regulation skills and promoting supportive family environments. By fostering supportive educational environments and making thoughtful investments in their children’s learning, parents can help students maximize their potential and, in turn, contribute to more equitable and sustainable educational outcomes.

教育是个人成长和社会进步的根本动力，在促进个人发展和社会流动方面发挥着关键作用。学习成绩是教育成果的关键指标，反映了影响学生成功的各种因素。本研究考察了家庭教育环境、教育投入和学生自我调节对学业成绩的综合影响。我们利用中国家庭面板研究（CFPS）的纵向数据集，分析了三波（2016-2020）收集的913名2-6年级小学生的随访数据。采用广义线性混合模型评估家庭教育环境、教育投入和自我规制对学业成绩的影响。结果表明，父母教育水平高、教育期望高的支持性家庭教育环境对学生的学习成绩有积极影响（OR = 1.17, 95% CI 1.04 ~ 1.29; OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.45 ~ 1.77）。更多的家庭教育投资，特别是财政支出，可以进一步提高学习成绩（OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.05-1.19）。较高水平的自我调节显著增加了获得优秀成绩的可能性（OR = 1.64, 95% CI 1.46-1.85）。该研究证实了将家庭支持与学生个人能力相结合对于取得最佳学业成绩的重要性。这些发现强调了教育工作者和政策制定者需要把重点放在提高自我调节技能和促进支持性家庭环境上。通过营造支持性的教育环境和对孩子的学习进行深思熟虑的投资，家长可以帮助学生最大限度地发挥他们的潜力，从而为更公平和可持续的教育成果做出贡献。

Numerous young people experience some form of homelessness each year and face various risks detrimental to their well-being and survival. Though some youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) use negative coping strategies such as substance use, positive coping, such as service utilization and social support, increase youths’ chances of exiting homelessness. We gathered survey and daily data from 169 YEH over 30 days to examine (1) whether youths’ characteristics were associated with service utilization and receiving different types of support, and (2) whether feeling more depressed/lonely was linked with receiving various types of support from social network members. Average marginal effects from multilevel logistic and linear probability regression models revealed that heterosexual youth were less likely to have used counseling and street outreach services compared with sexual minority youth. Moreover, heterosexual youth were also less likely to have received emotional, financial, and safety support compared with sexual minority youth. Additionally, more depressed/lonely youth were more likely to have received any support, emotional support, help with money, help with safety, and help with shelter from network members. Finally, reporting any type of support (e.g., emotional, financial) was found to decrease over the 30 days. Our findings have implications for targeted just-in-time interventions to help youth improve their well-being.

每年都有许多年轻人经历某种形式的无家可归，并面临各种不利于他们福祉和生存的风险。虽然一些经历无家可归的青年使用消极的应对策略，如物质使用，积极的应对策略，如服务利用和社会支持，增加了青年摆脱无家可归的机会。我们收集了169个YEH在30天内的调查和日常数据，以研究(1)青少年的特征是否与服务利用和获得不同类型的支持有关，以及(2)是否感到更沮丧/孤独与获得社会网络成员的各种支持有关。多层逻辑模型和线性概率回归模型的平均边际效应显示，与性少数青年相比，异性恋青年更不可能使用咨询和街头外展服务。此外，与性取向少数的青少年相比，异性恋青少年获得情感、经济和安全支持的可能性也更小。此外，更抑郁/孤独的年轻人更有可能从网络成员那里得到任何支持，情感支持，金钱帮助，安全帮助和庇护帮助。最后，报告任何类型的支持（例如，情感上的，经济上的）被发现在30天内减少了。我们的研究结果为有针对性的及时干预提供了启示，以帮助青少年改善他们的福祉。

In recent years, professionals across law enforcement and service sectors have sought to implement more survivor-centered approaches to address the Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) of children and youth. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 80 law enforcement officials and service providers across the United States, this study explores how innovative practices addressing CSE among children and youth are enacted on the ground through collaborative responses. Rather than adhering to rigid protocols, participants described flexible, context-sensitive strategies that prioritize care, relationship-building, and institutional change. The findings are organized into three themes: (1) prioritizing basic, immediate concerns before expecting cooperation or disclosure; (2) reshaping professional roles to act as advocates and trauma-informed allies; and (3) improving early identification, preventing harm, and challenging structural failures within systems. Across these themes, a central tension emerged: while professionals strive to implement care-driven, collaborative responses, they often operate within institutional structures that are reactive, punitive, and resistant to change. The findings point to the central role of flexible, survivor-informed, and ethically grounded practice in responding to CSE. The study contributes to research on multidisciplinary responses to youth exploitation and suggests key directions for policy, training, and institutional reform.

近年来，执法部门和服务部门的专业人员都在寻求实施更多以幸存者为中心的方法来解决对儿童和青少年的商业性剥削问题。通过对美国各地80名执法官员和服务提供者的深入访谈，本研究探讨了如何通过协作响应在当地制定解决儿童和青少年CSE问题的创新实践。参与者没有遵循严格的协议，而是描述了灵活的、对环境敏感的策略，优先考虑护理、建立关系和制度变革。调查结果分为三个主题：(1)在期待合作或披露之前，优先考虑基本的、紧迫的问题；(2)重塑专业角色，充当倡导者和创伤知情盟友；(3)提高系统的早期识别、预防危害和挑战结构故障。在这些主题中，出现了一个核心的紧张关系：虽然专业人员努力实施护理驱动的协作响应，但他们往往在被动、惩罚性和抵制变革的制度结构中运作。研究结果指出了灵活的、幸存者知情的、有道德基础的实践在应对CSE方面的核心作用。该研究有助于研究青年剥削的多学科对策，并为政策、培训和体制改革提出关键方向。

Placement stability is an important concern for children looked after. Sequence analysis has been proposed as a promising method by which to quantitatively assess care placement stability for looked after children. Previous uses of sequence analysis to understand care placement stability have focused on a cohort perspective – following children from birth to age 18 and then analysing their whole care histories. This cohort approach is less well suited to understanding care placement stability for the population of children in care at a given time, which is a limitation given interest in understanding how aggregate levels of care placement stability is changing. In this paper we demonstrate a complimentary use of sequence analysis to understand placement type stability in shorter periods. We combined sequence analysis with regression modelling applied to Scottish administrative data for children looked after between 2008–2017 to describe change over time in the average number of transitions between placement types – a placement stability measure derived from sequence analysis – for children in their first two years in care. Our results show that there was a slight overall decrease in placement stability by this measure between 2008–2017, but that this decrease appears attributable to changes in the composition of placement types over the same period.

安置稳定性是照顾儿童的一个重要问题。序列分析已被提出作为一种有前途的方法，通过定量评估照顾安置的稳定性照顾的儿童。先前使用序列分析来了解护理安置稳定性的方法主要集中在队列视角上——跟踪儿童从出生到18岁，然后分析他们的整个护理历史。这种队列方法不太适合理解特定时间内受照顾儿童群体的护理安置稳定性，这是对理解护理安置稳定性总体水平如何变化的兴趣的限制。在本文中，我们展示了一个互补的使用序列分析，以了解放置类型的稳定性在较短的时期。我们将序列分析与回归模型结合起来，应用于2008年至2017年期间照顾儿童的苏格兰行政数据，以描述安置类型之间平均过渡次数的变化，这是一种来自序列分析的安置稳定性措施，适用于儿童在照顾的头两年。我们的研究结果表明，2008年至2017年期间，这一措施的安置稳定性总体上略有下降，但这种下降似乎可归因于同期安置类型构成的变化。

The importance of supervision in social work is widely recognised, yet much remains unknown about the extent to which supervision influences social work practice and vice versa – and how. This qualitative study provides a detailed analysis of supervisory conversations and how they are reflected in subsequent practice conversations between social workers and people using services. Using an established framework for assessing the quality of supervision, we analysed five paired audio recordings of group supervision and home visits involving the same social worker and corresponding child and family. Through recursive abstraction, we identified key associations between the content and nature of discussions in supervision and discussions in the family home, as well as some notable discrepancies. These inconsistencies highlight the complexity of disentangling cause and effect within complex systems and suggest that the direction of influence may sometimes flow as much from practice to supervision as the other way around. Our findings contribute to the growing evidence base on the relationship between supervision and practice (in the form of home visits), underscoring the need for future research to include the perspectives of people using services and to explore other areas of social work practice and supervisory models.

监督在社会工作中的重要性得到了广泛的认可，然而，关于监督对社会工作实践的影响程度，反之亦然，以及如何影响社会工作，人们仍然知之甚少。这个定性研究提供了一个详细的分析监督对话，以及他们如何反映在社会工作者和使用服务的人之间的后续实践对话。使用一个已建立的评估监督质量的框架，我们分析了五个配对的小组监督和家访录音，涉及同一社会工作者和相应的儿童和家庭。通过递归抽象，我们确定了监督和家庭家庭讨论的内容和性质之间的关键联系，以及一些显著的差异。这些不一致突出了在复杂系统中解开因果关系的复杂性，并表明影响的方向有时可能从实践流向监督，就像相反的方向一样。我们的研究结果为监督与实践（以家访的形式）之间的关系提供了越来越多的证据基础，强调了未来研究需要包括使用服务的人的观点，并探索社会工作实践和监督模式的其他领域。
