Abstract

Samples of target and control American Indian children in the Southwest United States are compared for child abuse/neglect and family alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse is present in virtually all families that abuse/neglect children. However, alcohol abuse exists exclusive of the association with child abuse/neglect. The study demonstrates that alcohol abuse is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for child abuse/neglect.
