儿童期虐待的母亲病史被认为是虐待和忽视儿童的一个潜在风险因素，但这种情况在几代人之间的延续程度尚不清楚，研究报告的代际传播率差异很大。不同的发现可能是由于对每一代人虐待经历的性质缺乏关注。我们试图通过检查虐待类型、犯罪者身份以及向儿童保护服务机构(CPS)报告青春期母亲(n=417)及其子女代际虐待的证实状况来扩展当前的文献。我们发现，当母亲至少有一份儿童期虐待报告(无论是否得到证实)时，与没有受到虐待的母亲相比，她们虐待子女的几率增加了72%(OR=2.52)，但当我们将分析限制在得到证实的报告上时，这一几率要低得多。母亲有确凿证据的忽视和多种虐待(忽视和身体或性虐待)都与虐待儿童的风险增加有关，然而，如果母亲有多次虐待的童年病史，儿童遭受多重虐待的可能性增加300%以上。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
A maternal history of childhood maltreatment is thought to be a potent risk factor for child abuse and neglect, yet the extent of continuity across generations is unclear, with studies reporting vastly different rates of intergenerational transmission. Disparate findings may be due to lack of attention to the nature of maltreatment experiences in each generation. We sought to expand the current literature by examining the role of maltreatment type, perpetrator identity, and substantiation status of reports to child protective services (CPS) on intergenerational maltreatment among adolescent mothers (n = 417) and their children. We found that when mothers had at least one report of childhood maltreatment (substantiated or not), the odds that they maltreated their children increased by 72% (OR = 2.52), compared to mothers who are not maltreated, but the odds were considerably lower when we limited analysis to substantiated reports. Both a maternal history of substantiated neglect and multiple type maltreatment (neglect and physical or sexual abuse) were associated with increased risk of child maltreatment, yet the likelihood of children experiencing multiple maltreatment perpetrated with their mothers identified as perpetrators increased over 300% when mothers had a childhood history of multiple maltreatment.
