Longitudinal Pathways to Resilience in Maltreated Children
The Longitudinal Pathways to Resilience in Maltreated Children is a longitudinal follow-up of a cohort of maltreated and non-maltreated children in Upstate New York in the United States. Prospective follow-up assessments of 300 six to 12-year-old low income, maltreated, and non-maltreated children were conducted. The sample is racially and ethnically diverse: 65% of the children are African-American; 22% are Hispanic-American; 10% are European-American; and the remainder are from other racial/ethnic groups. The sex distribution of the sample is 63% male, consistent with a higher incidence of maltreatment among boys.
