TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Development and preliminary evaluation of the Ontario Child Neglect Index JO - Child maltreatment A1 - Trocme, Nico SP - 145 EP - 155 VL - 1 IS - 2 N2 - 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.
