Lixia Zhang and James Topitzes

Children and Youth Services Review, 2022, vol. 139, issue C

Abstract: A body of emerging research has indicated that adverse family physical environment is related to parenting problems such as parent-child conflict, decreased caregiver sensitivity, and less parental emotional availability. Yet, no study has examined if family physical environment is also associated with child abuse and neglect.
