Parental substance use disorder and child abuse: risk factors for child maltreatment?

Samenvatting

Although the literature consistently shows an association between parental substance use disorders (SUDs) and child abuse, it is unknown what factors discern non-abusive and abusive parents with SUDs.

It examines two groups of parents with SUDs in a clinical setting, with and without known instances of child abuse. These groups were compared on SUD-related factors such as the type and severity of the SUDs, and variables addressing psychological disability such as comorbid diagnoses and quality of life. Besides a marginally significant difference in severity of addiction and a lower mean age of the parents in the child abuse group, no significant differences were found.
