DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: AFMOA/SGHW is designing an evaluation project to determine the effectiveness of clinical interventions given to offenders involved in child maltreatment incidents. An inventory or questionnaire will be given to parents involved in child maltreatment referrals who receive services in the Family Advocacy Program. The instrument will be administered during the parents' first visit to FAP, and for those cases that meet criteria, the instrument will be administered after they receive services and the case is closed. The mean difference between the 2 administrations will be analyzed to determine if parents benefitted from interventions. The Conflict Tactics Scale, a popular assessment, was evaluated for use in our program evaluation effort but this instrument is used with adult incidents of maltreatment, not child incidents. The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was also considered, but due to a number of open ended questions included in the instrument, data entry requirements were determined to be excessive. The Parenting Stress Index (PSI) was also considered but its' target is for parents with children 0-3 years of age. FAP provides services to parents with children up to 18 years of age. AFMOA/SGHW selected the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) inventory because its' target population is for parents with children of all ages. It is in an agree/disagree response format with no open ended questions. It is also the most statistically reliable instrument in the field of child maltreatment for use in program evaluation. AFMOA/SGHW requires a vendor who can provide the Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory in a scannable document format. The instrument must be able to be scanned to help improve data entry accuracy and to reduce the data entry workload.
