    Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory
    (Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2005) Ondersma, S.J.; Chaffin, M.; Mullins, S.; LeBreton, J.
    Ondersma, Chaffin, Mullins, and LeBreton developed the Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory (BCAP) in 2005 as a short version of Milner’s CAPI screening instrument. Because CAPI is the most widely used and thoroughly researched measure of parental child abuse risk, Ondersma and team wanted to enhance the tool by creating a version that reduces participant burden and time, simplifies the scoring process, and increases its applicability. BCAP is a 33-item screening tool with 24 abuse risk scales and 9 validity scales. Whereas the CAPI takes 15-20 minutes to complete, the BCAP only takes 5 minutes. Ondersma and team validated the BCAP in 2005 and found that the BCAP and CAPI demonstrated similar patterns of external correlates. The BCAP was further proven that it may be useful as a time-efficient screener for abuse risk. To access the BCAP, interested parties should purchase copies from Psytec of the full version of the CAPI equivalent to the number of brief versions they would like to administer. The CAPI is a proprietary measure and therefore the BCAP is not available for separate purchase and cannot be disseminated independently. (CVR Abstract)

    Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory - Version 2
    (Family Development Resources, Inc., 1979) Bavolek, S.J.; Richard, K.G.
    Bavolek and Keene developed the Adult Adolescent Parenting Inventory (AAPI-2.1) in 2010 to assess the parenting and child rearing attitudes of adult and adolescent parent and pre-parent populations. The APPI-2.1 was updated from the original version of the APPI created in 1979. The APPI-2.1 is a 40-item self-reporting inventory that measures parental behaviors and is commonly used to assess the risk of child abuse and neglect. The AAPI-2.1 provides and index of five subscales: Expectations of Children, Parental Empathy towards Children's Needs, Use of Corporal Punishment, Parent-Child Family Roles, and Children's Power and Independence. The instrument is offered in English, Spanish, Creole, and Arabic, and takes 10-15 minutes to complete. There are two forms of the AAPI-2.1: Form A and Form B. Each form has 40 items presented on a five point Likert Scale of Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree and Uncertain. Traditionally, Form A is offered as a pretest and Form B as a posttest. Responses to the inventory provide an index of risk for practicing behaviors known to be attributable to child abuse and neglect. The APPI-2.1 was validated in 2006 by Nicola Conners, Leanne Whiteside-Mansell, David Deere, Toni Ledet, and Mark Edwards. Their findings suggested that the instrument was effective at measuring at least two of the constructs it purports to measure and that the total score may be useful. (CVR Abstract)

    Conflict Tactics Scales - Parent Child
    (National Inst. of Mental Health (DHHS), 1995) Straus, M.A.; Hamby, S.L.; Finkelhor, D.; Moore, D.; Runyan, D.
    Straus, Hamby, Finkelhor, Moore, and Runyan developed the Parent-Child Conflict Tactics Scales (CTSPC) as a brief tool to improve the ability of the already existent Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS) to obtain data on physical and psychological child maltreatment. The CTSPC is a 35-item parent-report measure that provides information regarding the presence and severity of parenting behaviors associated with child maltreatment. The assessment takes 6-8 minutes to complete and consists of six scales: Nonviolent Discipline; Psychological Aggression; Physical Assault; Supplemental Questions on Discipline in the Previous Week; Neglect; and Sexual Abuse. The CTSPC modified the original CTS to revise the psychological aggression and physical assault scales, replace the reasoning scale with the nonviolent discipline scale, and add supplemental scales to measure neglect and sexual abuse, as well as supplemental questions on discipline methods used in the previous week. The CTSPC was validated in 2018 by Allison Cotter, Kaitlin Proctor and Elizabeth Brestan-Knight. Their study found that observed parent behaviors relate to parents’ reported use of psychological aggression, corporal punishment, and assault, and that the measure should be interpreted at the subscale level.

    ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool - Parent Version
    (Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 2009) International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect; World Health Organization; United Nations
    In 2009, ISPCAN collaborated with UNICEF, the UN Secretary General’s Study on Violence against Children, the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights, and the World Health Organization to develop the ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tools (ICAST). The ICAST is a measure to assess child abuse prevalence and frequency, and is used worldwide in various countries. There are three versions of the ICAST tool: a child version for ages 11-18 (ICAST-C), a parent version (ICAST-P) and a young adults’ retrospective version (ICAST-R). The questionnaires and manuals were updated in 2015, and are currently available in English, Russian and Spanish. ICAST-P (Parent) collects data about discipline behaviors of the parents directed toward a specific child. The ICAST-P is an interview administered to parents or caregivers and consists of 57 items that ask about the children’s exposure to violence in the home. The assessment contains questions on the methods used by parents and/or caregivers to discipline the child or adolescent, as well as the attitudes adopted to solve behavioral problems and the frequency of omissions and/or aggressions by respondents. The tool can be completed by the participants themselves or by a practitioner. The tool was validated in 2009 by researchers in 11 countries and demonstrated that the instrument can be used in a broad range of cultures and languages with low rates of missing data and moderate to high internal consistency.

    ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool - Child Version
    (Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 2009) International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect; World Health Organization; United Nations
    In 2009, ISPCAN collaborated with UNICEF, the UN Secretary General’s Study on Violence against Children, the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights, and the World Health Organization to develop the ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tools (ICAST). The ICAST is a measure to assess child abuse prevalence and frequency, and is used worldwide in various countries. There are three versions of the ICAST tool: a child version for ages 11-18 (ICAST-C), a parent version (ICAST-P) and a young adults’ retrospective version (ICAST-R). The questionnaires and manuals were updated in 2015, and are currently available in English, Russian and Spanish. ICAST-C (Children) is a 69-item self-assessment instrument for children over 11 years of age. This instrument is to be administered to a group of children at the same time so that individual children’s answers are anonymous. There are two versions of the ICAST-C: ICAST-CI (Institutional) and ICAST-CH (Home version). The ICAST-CI measures victimization in school or other institutional environments. The ICAST-CH measures a child’s current (past-year) and lifetime exposure to physical, emotional and sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence and community violence. The tools can be completed by the participants themselves or by a practitioner. The ICAST-C was validated in 2009 by researchers from 10 countries and was proven to demonstrate feasibility as a strategy to assess child victimization. (CVR Abstract)
