Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Climate Survey (CANPCS)
Test Type:
Original
Acronym:
CANPCS
Source Used:
The majority of metadata for this record was created from PsycINFO Record: 2020-40102-001
Purpose:
The purpose of this survey is to examine beliefs about whether child abuse and neglect is a significant problem in the local community, self-efficacy toward preventing child abuse and neglect, personal and community responsibility to reduce child abuse and neglect, confidence that child abuse and neglect can be reduced, and perceptions about effective prevention approaches.
Description:
The Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Climate Survey (CANPCS; Todahl et al., 2020) was developed to investigate public attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors about child abuse prevention. Statements for this instrument were based on social norms theory (Berkowitz, 2005) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TBD; Ajzen, 1991). Face validity and clarity of first draft items were evaluated in structured interviews with pilot survey participants. The resulting CANPCS was evaluated in a random sample of adult residents in Lane County, Oregon. No further validity or reliablity results were reported for this survey. Limitations and suggestions for further research were noted. (PsycTests Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
