To address issues of psychological consequences, the events\r\n occurring prior to child loss, during the experience of child loss,\r\n and after child recovery (if applicable) were studied from multiple\r\n perspectives within the family by interviewing parents, spouses,\r\n siblings, and, when possible, the missing child. A sample of 249\r\n families with one or more missing children were followed with in-home\r\n interviews, in a time series measurement design. Three time periods\r\n were used: Time Series 1, within 45 days of disappearance, Time Series\r\n 2, at 4 months post-disappearance, and Time Series 3, at 8 months\r\n post-disappearance. Three groups of missing children and their\r\n families were studied: loss from alleged nonfamily abduction\r\n (stranger), loss by alleged family or parental abduction, and loss by\r\n alleged runaway. Cases were selected from four confidential sites in\r\n the United States. The files in this collection consist of data from\r\n detailed structured interviews (Parts 1-22) and selected quantitative\r\n nationally-normed measurement instruments (Parts 23-33). Structured\r\n interview items covered: (1) family of origin for parents of the\r\n missing child or children, (2) demographics of the current family with\r\n the missing child or children, (3) conditions in the family before the\r\n child's disappearance, (4) circumstances of the child's disappearance,\r\n (5) perception of the child's disappearance, (6) missing child search,\r\n (7) nonmissing child, concurrent family stress, (8) coping with the\r\n child's disappearance, (9) coping with a nonmissing child, concurrent\r\n family stress, (10) missing child recovery, if applicable, (11)\r\n recovered child reunification with family, if applicable, and (12)\r\n resource and assistance evaluation. With respect to intervention\r\n services, utilization of and satisfaction with these services were\r\n assessed in each of the following categories: law enforcement\r\n services, mental health services, missing child center services,\r\n within-family social support, and community social support. The\r\n quantitative instruments collected data on family members' stress\r\n levels and reactions to stress, using the Symptom Check List-90,\r\n Achenbach Child Behavior Check List, Family Inventory of Life Events,\r\n F-COPES, Frederick Trauma Reaction Index-Adult, and Frederick Trauma\r\nReaction Index-Child.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR06140.v1", "title": "Families of Missing Children: Psychological Consequences and Promising Interventions in the United States, 1989-1991"}], "identifier": "4029", "issued": "1997-03-07T00:00:00", "keyword": ["coping", "demographic characteristics", "families", "family relations", "intervention", "kidnapping", "law enforcement", "loss adjustment", "mental health services", "missing children", "parental kidnapping", "psychological wellbeing", "social support", "stress"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:000"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Families of Missing Children: Psychological Consequences and Promising Interventions in the United States, 1989-1991"}
