The programme group Parenting, Child Care and Development works in close collaboration with colleagues from other programme groups.

Forensic Family and Youth Care Studies

Because of the programme group’s strong focus on the family and because there is a thin line between normal and problematic caregiving and behavior, we work in close collaboration with our colleagues from the programme group Forensic Family and Youth Care Studies, for instance in studies on child abuse and neglect, adoption and foster care.

Research Methods and Statistics

Furthermore, because of our extensive use of advanced statistical applications (e.g., multilevel analysis), we work closely with colleagues from the programme group Research Methods and Statistics.
