Israeli parents share similar worries common to Western parents including bicycle and car accidents; abduction; exposure to environmental poisons; discipline; values and morals; and finances. However, Israeli parents also hold worries unique to their political climate including terrorism and military service concerns. Findings suggest that social workers can help parents increase their sense of mastery and reduce their worries by helping them identify some control over the risks their children face. Community interventions addressing social inequalities and difficult family experiences, such as poverty and crime, can also be implemented by social workers to ease the worry of parents.

The evidence is limited by the use of the same study population by several studies, the lack of a clear definition of what

Previous research shows that there is a significant overlap between intimate partner violence (IPV) and child abuse and neglect (CAN). This study examines the prevalence of co-occurrence of IPV and CAN in a cohort of Chinese parents drawn from a large representative sample in Hong Kong. It also investigates the risk factors for CAN with a special emphasis on the role of IPV. A subsample of 2,363 parents from the household survey conducted in Hong Kong in 2004 was invited to complete the Conflict Tactics Scale and a demographic questionnaire examining the risk factors for CAN. The findings show that the parental maltreatment of children is prevalent in Hong Kong. Among the perpetrators of child maltreatment, 37% admitted they had been perpetrators and 36% admitted they had been victims of IPV
