Notes:	This study tests if parental negative perceptions of the child mediate the effect of domestic violence on child abuse risk. Families with firstborn children living in Oregon, USA and at risk of child abuse were contacted during a three-year period (1994-1997). Multidisciplinary teams classified parents as at low, medium or high risk for child maltreatment based on behaviours, statements, attitudes and events observed during home visits. Mothers and fathers assessed as experiencing domestic violence had a more negative view of their child and an increased risk of family child-abuse.
