Violence Exposure Among Young Mothers

The Center for Clinical and Community Research’s The Young Mothers Study is a long-term study that explores the effects that exposure to violence has on young mothers with preschool-age children. In particular, the study investigates the effects of violence on maternal distress, parenting, and child behavior over time. To develop effective treatments and interventions, researchers are analyzing the psychological and social resources used by parents to buffer the effects of exposure to violence.
