“…The timing, sequence, and duration of foster care is critical to how we attach meaning to the experience. That so many spend so little time in care draws attention to questions that consider the need for placement in the first place (see articles by Jones Harden et al, Roygardner et al, Feely et al, and Slack and Berger, this volume).…”

To understand what placement outside of one’s home means to the young people involved, we must understand foster care from a life course perspective. I analyze young people’s experiences in foster care from this perspective, accounting for when foster care happens, how long it lasts, and what happens when foster care placements end. I show that the population of children coming into foster care is younger and less urban than it was 20 years ago. I also show reliable measures of exposure to foster care over the life course. Children who enter care early in life are the children who spend the largest proportion of their childhood in foster care—a fact that rarely weighs on the policymaking process. We know very little about state and local variation in foster care placement rates, not to mention the influence of social services, the courts, foster parents, and caseworkers over foster children, so I close by arguing investment in research should be a clear policy priority.

This research had the objective to design children’s bins and make a comparison of the new and old bin patterns. The group sampling consisted of 652 participants composed of the students and personnel in a school in Khlong Kum District, Bangkok, Thailand. For this case, multistage random sampling was used with 234 participants, and the research tools were composed of five-point Likert scale questionnaires that were measured with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient with a level of 0.91, independent t-test and multiple regression analysis. From the above information, it was found that the influencing factors to the children’s bin’s design involved the beauty (0.32), specific attributes, (0.24), morale (0.16), ergonomics (0.10), safety (0.07), application (0.07), and the materials (0.05). In addition, when testing the model, it was found that the new bin product patterns had the most satisfaction level ( =4.55; S.D.=0.30), followed by the original bin product patterns that had a moderate satisfaction level ( =3.08; S.D.=0.52). Finally, when comparing the differences of the satisfaction level by using the t-test statistics, it was found that the children’s satisfaction to the new bin patterns were at a higher level than the original ones with a statistical significance level of .05.

“…Specifically, a public health approach would entail research that examines rates of maltreatment in the general population, studies on the risk and protective factors pertinent to maltreatment, the design and evaluation of interventions to address maltreatment, and the dissemination of evidence-based interventions to prevent maltreatment (Whitaker, Lutzker, and Shelley 2005). With respect to maltreatment prevention, a public health framework would entail a three-tiered approach that addresses (1) the point in the trajectory of maltreatment that an intervention occurs (i.e., primary, secondary, and tertiary) and (2) the maltreatment intervention’s target population (i.e., universal, selected, and indicated) (Institute of Medicine and National Research Council 2009, 2014; see also Roygardner, Hughes, and Palusci, this volume).…”

“…The CDC’s (2016) vision focuses attention on four areas: “(1) the developmental periods of childhood and adolescence, where prevention efforts are likely to achieve the greatest long-term impact; (2) the populations and communities that disproportionately bear the burden of violence in society; (3) the shared risk and protective factors that are most likely to influence multiple forms of violence; and (4) priority to the programs, practices, and policies that are most likely to impact multiple forms of violence.” Connecting child maltreatment to the health sector is long overdue but is still not accomplished at the state level, where child abuse prevention continues to be excluded from the main strategic efforts of health departments (see, also, Roygardner, Hughes, and Palusci, this volume).…”

Child maltreatment calls for a broad range of preventative policies and practices, but limited governmental funding and leadership has been devoted to the problem. Effective strategies to prevent maltreatment exist, but they have had limited uptake in the child welfare system. In this article, we trace how government responsibility for the prevention of child maltreatment became centered within the nation’s child protection response. Further, we discuss developments in prevention science, review the existing literature on the effectiveness of a range of prevention strategies, and present a public health approach to prevention. The article concludes with a set of recommendations to inform future efforts to prevent child maltreatment through approaches that seek to expand capacity for the implementation of evidence-based prevention programs, while addressing the adverse community experiences that exacerbate risk for child maltreatment.
