abstract="The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns and possible determinants of child abuse and neglect in European- and Hawaiian-Americans. Abuse was overrepresented in the Hawaiian-Americans while neglect was over-represented in the European-Americans. There were several significant results regarding stress and personal factors that played roles in the maltreatment of the children within each culture. For example, family discord, new baby/continuous child care, loss of control and lack of tolerance were important correlates of abuse for Hawaiian-Americans. The stresses of recent relocation, social isolation and family discord as well as the personal factors of mental health problems and alcohol/drug dependence were important correlates of neglect for European-Americans. The results indicate that to understand the patterns, causes, treatment and prevention of child maltreatment, cultural as well as individual factors must be assessed.<p />",
