Social service professionals are more frequently identifying children who witness adult domestic violence as victims of that abuse. This article expands common definitions of how children witness adult domestic violence. A total of 31 research articles that met established quality criteria were included in this review. A variety of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive-functioning problems among children were found to be associated with exposure to domestic violence. Factors that appear to moderate the impact of witnessing violence-such as whether the child was also abused, child gender and age, and the time since last exposure to violence-were identified. Concerns about research methodology used in this area of research and the application of this knowledge also are raised.
