abstract="The Child Neglect Index is designed to provide child welfare practitioners and researchers with a validated and easy-to-use instrument that specifies type and severity of neglect. Field testing shows that the validity and reliability of this one-page index compare favorably with the Child Well-Being Scales. Although the Child Neglect Index was designed within the context of Ontario's child welfare laws, the instrument and the structured expert-based method used to develop it can be easily applied to other jurisdictions.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
