DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objectives ofthis NRSA are 1) to develop substantive expertise in the study of child development to complement existing methodological skills and ongoing methods training, and 2) to apply advanced analytic techniques to study the effects of maltreatment on adolescent social and psychological development. The training sequence for meeting these objectives includes: 1) participation in a weekly developmental seminar and consortium with scholars in the field of child development, 2) academic and professional supervision by an advisory panel of experts in the fields of child development, child maltreatment, and quantitative methods, 3) participation in small multi-institution and multi-disciplinary maltreatment research groups, 4) mentorship in child development and methodological techniques particular to the field of child development, and 5) coursework in child health and development. In conjunction with and to facilitate these training objectives, the specific research project undertaken during this training is made up of three focused specific aims. Aim 1 is to develop measurement models of maltreatment (abuse, neglect) using continuous and discrete latent variable models with a variety of maltreatment indicators in a population based sample of adolescents engaged with US child protective services (CPS). Aim 2 is to assess the effects of child maltreatment as measured in Aim 1 on the trajectories of youth well-being in the domains of anxiety; depression; withdrawal; delinquency and aggression; and, social, thought, and attention disorder. Models used in this assessment will be advanced within a developmental-ecological theoretical framework. Aim 3 is to investigate whether participation in formal and informal social organizations outside of the family moderates the effects of maltreatment on child development. Participation in extra-familial social organizations is hypothesized to be protective. A primary contribution ofthis research will be to disseminate higher quality measures of child maltreatment from survey data using structural equation modeling with latent variables. Random measurement error and in some cases, response bias, will be accounted for in measurement models. In addition, models of relationships will be holistic in that they will involve multiple contexts and change over time, the most recent methods for the analysis of complex samples will be used to obtain consistent population estimates. This research addresses the social and affective development; child maltreatment and violence program area ofthe NICHD. The advanced modeling and inference to populations using complex samples is applicable to all public health research that seeks unbiased measurement of population parameters.

描述（由申请人提供）：该NRSA的长期目标是：1)发展儿童发展研究方面的实质性专业知识，以补充现有的方法技能和正在进行的方法培训；2)应用先进的分析技术来研究虐待对青少年社会和心理发展的影响。实现这些目标的培训顺序包括：1)参加每周一次的发展研讨会，并与儿童发展领域的学者合作；2)由儿童发展、儿童虐待和定量方法领域的专家顾问小组进行学术和专业监督；3)参加小型多机构和多学科的虐待研究小组；4)在儿童发展和儿童发展领域的方法技术方面担任导师；5)儿童健康与发展课程。为了配合和促进这些培训目标，在培训期间进行的具体研究项目由三个重点突出的具体目标组成。目标1是在美国儿童保护服务（CPS）的青少年群体样本中，使用具有各种虐待指标的连续和离散潜在变量模型，开发虐待（虐待，忽视）的测量模型。目标2是评估目标1中测量的儿童虐待对焦虑领域青少年福祉轨迹的影响；抑郁症;撤军;犯罪和侵略；还有社交、思维和注意力障碍。在此评估中使用的模型将在发展-生态理论框架内推进。目的3是调查参与家庭以外的正式和非正式社会组织是否会缓和虐待对儿童发展的影响。参与家庭外的社会组织被认为具有保护作用。本研究的一个主要贡献将是使用带有潜在变量的结构方程模型从调查数据中传播更高质量的儿童虐待措施。随机测量误差，在某些情况下，反应偏差，将在测量模型中考虑。此外，关系模型将是整体的，因为它们将涉及多种情况并随时间变化，将使用分析复杂样本的最新方法来获得一致的人口估计。本研究涉及社会和情感发展；儿童虐待和暴力方案领域。使用复杂样本对人口进行高级建模和推断适用于所有寻求人口参数无偏测量的公共卫生研究。
