Parent support programs have been suggested as one way to strengthen parent-child relationships and decrease risk of child maltreatment for this vulnerable population, but such programs have not been rigorously evaluated. This study was designed to investigate if Circle of Parents, a self-help support group developed to decrease child maltreatment, was a feasible, acceptable, and effective intervention for parents residing in shelters (N = 80). The investigation utilized a quasi-experimental design using propensity score analysis with a services-as-usual comparison group. The Protective Factors Survey (PFS) and a client satisfaction questionnaire served as the primary outcome measures and group facilitators provided information about feasibility of the intervention within shelters. Promising evidence was found for the acceptability and feasibility of Circle of Parents. However, analyses of PFS data showed little difference between the intervention and services-as-usual comparison groups. Overall, findings pointed to emerging positive findings but underscored the need for continued controlled examination of the effectiveness of Circle of Parents implemented in shelters and transitional housing.}, journal={CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES REVIEW}, author={Haskett, Mary E. and Okoniewski, Katherine C. and Armstrong, Jenna M. and Galanti, Sally and Lowder, Evan and Loehman, Jessica and Lanier, Paul J.}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={187–196} } @article{armstrong_haskett_hawkins_2017, title={THE STUDENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIP QUALITY OF ABUSED CHILDREN}, volume={54}, ISSN={["1520-6807"]}, DOI={10.1002/pits.21989}, abstractNote={Considering the association between children's quality of relationships with teachers and their academic adjustment, information pertaining to how abused children are functioning in their relationships with teachers could be useful in promoting their academic success- yet there has been limited research in this area. The purpose of this study was to use cluster analyses to explore within-group differences in relational schemas and quality of student-teacher relationships for 70 abused children. Two clusters of abused children emerged, and as hypothesized, there were significant differences in student-teacher relationships for the two clusters. The cluster with more positive relational schemas had less conflict and less dependency reported by their teachers compared to the cluster with negative relational schemas. However, there were no differences between the clusters in terms of closeness with teachers. Implications for practice in schools is discussed.}, number={2}, journal={PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS}, author={Armstrong, Jenna Montgomery and Haskett, Mary E. and Hawkins, Amy L.}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={142–151} } @article{haskett_armstrong_tisdale_2016, title={Developmental Status and Social-Emotional Functioning of Young Children Experiencing Homelessness}, volume={44}, ISSN={["1573-1707"]}, DOI={10.1007/s10643-015-0691-8}, number={2}, journal={EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION JOURNAL}, author={Haskett, Mary E. and Armstrong, Jenna Montgomery and Tisdale, Jennifer}, year={2016}, month={Mar}, pages={119–125} }
