The cognitive profiles of maltreated children in care and their educational needs: Supporting good outcomes.

In contrast, within the maltreated cohort 18 % of the children reported seeing their primary support on only a monthly basis, and 20 % reported seeing their primary support semiannually or less often.

Nonetheless, the results have profound treatment and social policy implications, because failures within the child protective services system too often result in recurrent episodes of abuse, frequent changes in children's out - of - home placements, and an absence of positive social supports in the lives of maltreated children.

It was hypothesized that both genotype and social supports would predict depression in maltreated children and that maltreated children with the s allele and unavailable or negative social supports would have the most severe depressive symptomatology.

The depression scores of the maltreated children with the s / s genotype and low supports were two times higher than the depression scores of CC children with the same genotype and social support profile (high - risk maltreatment, 30.0 ± 12.3; high - risk CCs, 15.0 ± 6.4).

As noted previously, only 32 % of the maltreated children saw their primary support on a daily basis, 18 % reported seeing their primary support on a monthly basis, and 20 % reported seeing their primary support semiannually or less often.

Maltreated children with the s / s genotype and no positive supports had the highest depression ratings, scores that were twice as high as the non-maltreated comparison children with the same genotype.

Risk for negative outcomes may be modified by both genetic and environmental factors, with the quality and availability of social supports among the most important environmental factors in promoting resiliency in maltreated children, even in the presence of a genotype expected to confer vulnerability for psychiatric disorder.

Except for maltreated children with the s / s genotype, maltreated children with monthly or more frequent contact with their primary support had relatively low depression scores (which were, on average, only 3 points higher than the mean depression score of the CC group).

As depicted in Fig. 4, the amount of contact maltreated children had with their primary support interacted significantly with genotype in predicting children's depression scores.

Maltreated children were also less likely to see their primary supports on a regular basis.

Maltreated children with the s / s genotype and low social supports had markedly elevated depression scores, ratings that were approximately twice as high as those of CCs with the same genotype and social support profile (high - risk CC, 15.0 ± 8.3; high - risk maltreated, 30.Maltreated children with the s / s genotype and low social supports had markedly elevated depression scores, ratings that were approximately twice as high as those of CCs with the same genotype and social support profile (high - risk CC, 15.0 ± 8.3; high - risk maltreated, 30.maltreated, 30.0 ± 12.3).

The depression scores of the maltreated children with the s / s genotype that had relatively regular contact with their primary supports were 67 % higher than those of the maltreated children with less vulnerable genotypes who had comparable contact with their supports.

Given emerging preclinical and clinical findings demonstrating the importance of both genetic and environmental (e.g., care giving and social supports) factors in determining the consequences of early stress, we examined the moderating role of the 5 - HTTLPR and social supports on the development of depression in maltreated children.

The relative availability of maltreated children's social supports also affected their depression scores.

However, the presence of positive supports reduced risk associated with maltreatment and the s / s genotype, such that maltreated children with this profile had only minimal increases in their depression scores.

Although there was no increase in depression associated with less frequent contact for children with the l / l genotype, maltreated children with at least one s allele that had semiannual or less frequent contact with their primary support had a 33 % increase in depression scores compared with maltreated children with the same genotypes that had more regular contact with their primary support.

Although 91 % of the CCs reported seeing their primary supports on a daily basis, only 32 % of the maltreated children saw their primary supports this frequently.

To our knowledge, this is the first investigation to examine social support indices together with genetic factors in predicting depression in maltreated children.
