“…As seen in the extant research (Bauch et al, 2022; Buderer et al, 2020; Hefti et al, 2020), this study suggests improvements in parental mental health and stress as a benefit of MST‐CAN. Nevertheless, we identified one group, namely, the fifth group of children, as showing mainly internalizing symptoms, for which parental mental health deteriorated during the treatment.…”

“…Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST‐CAN) (Swenson et al, 2010) is an evidence‐based model that includes multiple research‐backed treatments to meet specific needs for various issues and for all family members. So far, studies have focused on examining the overall effectiveness of the model (Buderer et al, 2020; Hefti et al, 2020; Swenson et al, 2010). The possibility of adapting the MST‐CAN program to the specific needs of families has been addressed by its developers (Swenson et al, 2010).…”

“…Swenson et al (2010) could show the superiority of MST‐CAN compared with an enhanced outpatient treatment in their randomized controlled trial. MST‐CAN was more effective in reducing internalizing (posttraumatic stress disorder, dissociation) and behavioral and emotional problems, out‐of‐home placements, and number of placement changes for youths who had to be placed owing to safety issues (Buderer et al, 2020). The program is based on Bronfenbrenner's (1979) social‐ecological model and considers that effective interventions for the prevention and reduction of child maltreatment must address risk factors (Euser et al, 2015; Mulder et al, 2018; Swenson et al, 2011).…”

“…On the basis of this, risk factors in families are identified and addressed with appropriate therapeutic methods (e.g., cognitive behavioral, behavioral family, and trauma therapy) for the child, parents, and siblings, following nine principles. MST‐CAN is effective in reducing child neglect and children's emotional and behavioral problems (Buderer et al, 2020; Swenson et al, 2010). At a parental level, MST‐CAN was effective in improving mental health and social support (Hefti et al, 2020; Swenson et al, 2010) and decreasing psychological distress (Hefti et al, 2020).…”

Evidence‐based indication for targeted interventions is a central approach in the field of child welfare and psychotherapy. This study explored the characteristics of children and families referred to Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect (MST‐CAN) in Switzerland and their associations with treatment outcomes. We sought to identify subgroups of children and families referred to MST‐CAN and understand their specific needs and alignment with the program. We identified five distinct subgroups of children: (a) those characterized by clinically significant “social withdrawal” and “anxiety/depression,” (b) with multiple clinically significant emotional and behavioral problems, (c) with predominantly externalizing problems, (d) with no pathological findings at all, with parents who were less stressed and had fewer mental health problems, and (e) with mainly internalizing problems and parents whose mental health problems deteriorated during treatment. Investigating the fit of children and families referred to treatment programs can enhance the understanding of their healthcare needs and enable more individualized interventions.

“…Furthermore, emphasis of past researches have seldom been placed on the aspect, thus making people pay less attention to the issue [26]. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out relevant research and to draw enough attention to the danger and harm of neglect or ignorance of controlling the tension of harness' webbing properly [27,28,29].…”

Analysis of the Effect of Infant Carrier’s Webbing Tension on 18-month-old Child Occupant’s Chest Accelerations in Frontal Crash Accidents Based on Experimental Validations

Infant carriers play an important role in protecting child occupants from severe injuries caused by collisions, but the tension of harness webbing cannot be controlled properly most of the time. Infant carrier’s user manual or instruction generally contains little information about the extent to which the adjusting belt should be pulled to cause the necessary webbing tension, and it is often neglected that the infants should be restrained securely. In order to improve public awareness, it is important to ascertain the effect of infant carrier’s webbing tension on the occupant’s chest accelerations. A testing scheme including 12 dynamic tests was devised and conducted, and test conditions were controlled strictly to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of results. P1.5 dummy’s resultant and vertical chest accelerations were collected and analyzed. Both ISOFIX installation and seat belt installation methods were taken into consideration without lack of generality. Sled’s accelerations and velocities were set and acquired, which constituted the fundamental testing conditions of dynamic tests and ensured the repeatability and reliability of tests. Furthermore, dummy’s chest acceleration pulses were monitored and recorded, and the data were evaluated in accordance with criteria defined in relevant technical standards. The dummy’s chest accelerations were classified into 2 groups according to child restraint systems’ installation methods, i.e., the ISOFIX group and the seat belt group. In each group, both resultant chest acceleration and vertical chest acceleration were involved. Universal phenomena were displayed in all the tests, and the larger the tensile forces were, the lower the chest accelerations were in tests. Based on experimental validations, the relation between webbing’s tensions and chest accelerations in frontal crash accidents was verified. Furthermore, suggestions were made about adjusting the webbing tension and the proper use of infant carriers.
