	Title Here :::: Welcome to Child Trauma Academy ::::
		Neglectful parents may not be aware that their actions (or lack of actions) are of a sufficient degree to potentially result in harm to the child.
		Neglect frequently accompanies other forms of maltreatment and it is often the case that identification and intervention is focused on the other more overt form of maltreatment.
		Neglect must be viewed in an ecological context, arising from the characteristics of the individual, family, community, and society.

	Neglect
		Child neglect, which is 63% of all substantiated cases of child abuse, is the most common form of child maltreatment reported to child protective services.
		Unlike physical and sexual abuse, neglect is usually typified by an ongoing pattern of inadequate care and is readily observed by individuals in close contact with the child.
		Physical neglect can severely impact a child's development by causing failure to thrive, malnutrition; serious illnesses; physical harm in the form of cuts, bruises and burns due to lack of supervision and a lifetime of low self-esteem.

	NIH Guide: RESEARCH ON CHILD NEGLECT
		Since studies of child neglect are constrained by myriad practical, legal, ethical, and methodological considerations, the funding partners sponsoring this RFA believe that, without special encouragement to the scientific community, the number of studies addressing child neglect will likely continue to lag behind that of studies addressing other forms of childhood trauma.
		Some studies show neglect to be associated with behavioral and psychological impairments as well, such as maladaptive peer interactions, insecure attachments, social isolation, depression, avoidance, low self-esteem, lowered tolerance for frustration, greater dependency, attention problems, and (for boys) conduct disorder, though the causal direction for many of these problems is still unclear.
		Since these shortcomings remain, this RFA is intended to encourage research on the prevalence, causes, course, and consequences of child neglect, as well as evaluation of interventions designed to prevent its occurrence, and to reverse, ameliorate, or compensate for the short- and long-term effects of neglect on child victims.
