What this research studies
This research investigates the impact of economic support policies on preventing child abuse and neglect (CAN) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on how these policies can improve the well-being of families, particularly those in economically disadvantaged situations, by enhancing caregiving capacity. The study will analyze various state-level policies implemented in response to the pandemic and their effectiveness in reducing risks associated with CAN. By engaging local communities, the research aims to identify and implement effective community-based strategies for CAN prevention.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are families with children aged 0-11 years living in economically disadvantaged communities.
Not a fit: Families not experiencing economic hardship or those with children outside the age range of 0-11 years may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more effective policies that significantly reduce instances of child abuse and neglect.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that economic support policies can positively impact family well-being, suggesting potential success for this approach.
