Data from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study, a longitudinal national cohort study of children from 20 urban U.S. cities, are used. Path analysis is employed to investigate the longitudinal relationships between family and neighborhood context variables and abuse risk, as well as the importance of different factors at key developmental stages. Economic hardship, maternal substance use, intimate partner violence, and exposure to community violence are found to be related to child abuse risk regardless of developmental stage, while maternal depression and neighborhood informal social control are found to have impacts only within certain child development stages. Findings suggest the need for early intervention and prevention strategies that specifically target economic hardship, poverty, intimate partner violence, and exposure to community violence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9020163","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]],"date-time":"2022-01-27T21:59:55Z","timestamp":1643320795000},"page":"163","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["The Relative Influence of Family and Neighborhood Factors on Child Maltreatment at Critical Stages of Child Development"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Kathryn","family":"Maguire-Jack","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2318-2823","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susan","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Social Work, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7526-1123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yujeong","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunghyun","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avb.2006.03.006","article-title":"Risk factors in child maltreatment: A meta-analytic review of the literature","volume":"14","author":"Stith","year":"2009","journal-title":"Aggress.
