The brief provides an overview of Dr. Penelope K. Trickett's work and explores her innovations in the areas of theory, measurement, and methodology in the study of child maltreatment. It offers a summary of Dr. Trickett's seminal longitudinal studies on child maltreatment, including their influence on understanding the impact of sexual abuse and child maltreatment on female and adolescent development. Chapters examine the impact of her work on policy and practice and offer present four new empirical studies that have been directly influenced by Dr. Trickett's contributions. The brief concludes with further research recommendations to bridge the current policy and practice gaps.
Topics featured in this brief include:
- Childhood sexual abuse and its effect on eating disorder development in females.
- The traumatic nature of reporting maltreatment in adolescents.
- Associations between adolescents' community violence exposure (CVE) and the development of aggressive behavior problems.
- Child sexual abuse experiences in Korea.
Child Maltreatment Research, Policy, and Practice is a must-have resource for policy makers and related professionals, graduate students, and researchers in child and school psychology, family studies, public health, social work, law/criminal justice, and sociology.

Sonya Negriff, Ph.D., is an expert in the effects of child maltreatment on physical and mental health. Dr Negriff received her Ph.D. in developmental psychology from the University of Southern California (USC). She then completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Adolescent Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, after which she returned to USC as a Research Assistant Professor. In her research Dr. Negriff uses a biopsychosocial approach to understand the pathways from child maltreatment to mental health and risk behavior, including depression, trauma symptoms, substance use and sexual risk behaviors. The bulk of her research has focused on explicating biological (e.g., pubertal timing, epigenetics, neuroimaging) and social mechanisms (e.g., social support, social media use) that increase vulnerability to mental health problems for children and adolescents with trauma experiences. Dr. Negriff recently took a position as a Research Scientist in the Department ofResearch & Evaluation at Kaiser Permanente Southern California with the goal of translating her research to directly improve the mental and physical health of vulnerable youth.
