Development of a Child Abuse Level Management (CALM) Guide for Research with Young Children
Reporting child abuse or neglect is an ethical expectation and a legislated mandate of behavioral and health care professionals in the United States. In particular, researchers who investigate parent-child dyads are responsible for submitting procedures and informed consent documents to Institutional Review Boards that provide for the protection of children. The challenge for researchers is to recognize failing quality of parent-child interaction, prior to any event of maltreatment and to intercede in a deteriorating dynamic.

Salami: by the slice or swallowed whole?
Salami slicing, the practice of extracting multiple papers from the one data set, is generally considered unsound practice in publication. To date critique of this view in the literature is limited.
