Controlling for the same economic variables, Casey et al (12) found that mothers who tested positive in a maternal depression screening were more likely to report less welfare support (adjusted OR = 1·52; 95 % CI 1·03, 2·25) and more household food insecurity (adjusted OR = 2·69; 95 % CI 2·33, 3·11) than mothers who did not test positive.…”

Objective: To assess the association between physical intimate partner violence and household food security within households with schoolchildren. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Salvador, Bahia, north-eastern Brazil. Subjects: The study was conducted in 1019 households with students. Violence between couples was evaluated using the Portuguese version of the revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2), previously adapted and validated for use in Brazil. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (BFIS) was used to identify food insecurity. We also obtained socio-economic information for each participant. We used multivariate Poisson regression to assess the associations of interest. Results: According to the results of the BFIS, 62·5 % of the households were found to experience food insecurity, including 19·5 % moderate food insecurity and 6·5 % severe food insecurity. The prevalence of minor physical violence was 9·6 % (95 % CI 7·8, 11·4 %) and of severe physical violence was 4·7 % (95 % CI 3·4, 6·0 %) among the couples. In the final multivariate model, it was found that couples reporting minor (prevalence ratio = 1·23; 95 % CI 1·12, 1·35) and severe (prevalence ratio = 1·16; 95 % CI 1·00, 1·34) physical violence were more likely to be experiencing household food insecurity, compared with those not reporting physical violence. Conclusions: Physical intimate partner violence was associated with food insecurity of households. The present study brings new data to the subject of the role of violence in the context of food insecurity.

Child health and developmental outcomes depend to a large extent on the capabilities of families to provide a nurturing, safe environment for their infants and young children. Unfortunately, many families have insufficient knowledge about parenting skills and an inadequate support system of friends, extended family, or professionals to help with or advise them regarding child rearing. Home-visiting programs offer a mechanism for ensuring that at-risk families have social support, linkage with public and private community services, and ongoing health, developmental, and safety education. When these services are part of a system of high-quality well-child care linked or integrated with the pediatric medical home, they have the potential to mitigate health and developmental outcome disparities. This statement reviews the history of home visiting in the United States and reaffirms the support of the American Academy of Pediatrics for home-based parenting education and support.

“…The mother-child interactions were scored using rating scales 21,22 that have been used previously with this population 13 and in another population of at-risk, inner-city, African-American families. 23 Research indicates that these rating scales have good reliability and adequate validity. 24 These scales are based on the quality of the parent-child interaction; thus they are not tied to specific age-related behaviors in the child (Philip Cowan, personal communication, 1999).…”

This prospective study examined the effects of ongoing maternal drug use, parenting attitudes, and a home-based intervention on mother-child interaction among drug-using women and their children. At 2 weeks postpartum, mothers and infants were randomly assigned to either an Intervention (n = 67) or Control (n = 64) Group. Intervention families received weekly visits until 6 months postpartum and biweekly visits from 6 to 18 months by trained lay visitors. The home intervention was designed to increase maternal empowerment and promote child development. Control families received brief monthly tracking visits. Mother-child interaction was evaluated at 18 months through observation of play. Mothers who continued to use cocaine and/or heroin had lower competence scores (p < .05); poor parenting attitude was also associated with lower competence scores during mother-child interaction (p < .05). Although the intervention had no measured effect, ongoing maternal drug use and poor parenting attitudes were associated with less optimal maternal behavior during mother-child interaction.The focus of much of the research on drug-using mothers and their infants has been on the short-and long-term effects of prenatal drug exposure. However, recent research 1 indicates that developmental and behavioral outcomes once thought to be specific to prenatal cocaine exposure are actually associated with other factors, such as the quality of the child's environment. Drug-exposed children raised in homes with ongoing parental drug use are more likely to display problems in cognitive development than drug-exposed children raised in drug-free environments. 2,3 Women who continue to use drugs after the infants are born are often unable to provide a stable, consistent, nurturing environment for their children. [4][5][6] Maternal drug use is associated with higher parenting stress 7 and poorer parenting attitudes, 8,9 and poor parenting attitudes such as a belief in harsh discipline were associated with less optimal maternal behavior during a parent-child observation session. 10 Factors such as ongoing maternal drug use and poor parenting attitudes may be associated with less optimal maternal and child behavior during mother-child interaction among substanceabusing mothers and their drug-exposed children.Home-intervention programs have often been used with drug-using women and their children. Using community health nurses, one home-based program provided health education and a child-development curriculum over the first 12 months postpartum. 11 Although the number of home visits varied by family, the intervention led to better motherinfant interaction at 3 months postpartum. Another home-based program using community nurses provided a child-development curriculum and maternal support during biweekly home visits (mean number of visits = 12) over the first 18 months postpartum. 12 Infants in the Intervention Group had higher cognitive scores and a more stimulating and responsive Copyright © 2002 home environment in comparison with Con...
