abstract="Children exposed to maltreatment are at risk of experiencing intimate partner violence (IPV) and behavioral problems. This study examined different forms of  family violence that co-occur and their relationship to children's externalizing  behaviors across developmental stages (early childhood, middle childhood,  adolescence). Longitudinal data (N = 1,987) at baseline and 18 months and 36 months  post-baseline from the NSCAW II were used. Mixture modeling was employed in which  latent class models estimated subgroups of children who experienced co-occurring  forms of family violence; regression models estimated which subgroups of children  were at risk of externalizing behaviors. Three latent classes were identified across  developmental stages: high family violence, low family violence, and child physical  abuse and psychological aggression. For children in early childhood, a fourth class  was identified: partner and child physical abuse and child psychological aggression. <br><br>RESULTS from regression models revealed differences in externalizing scores by class  membership across developmental age groups and over time. That distinct classes of  child maltreatment and IPV co-occur and differentially impact children's behavior  suggests a need for strong prevention and intervention responses to address  children's dual maltreatment and IPV exposure.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
