Treatments for child neglect: A scoping review

Research into the effectiveness of treatments for neglected children remains scarce and displays many gaps. There is a limited range of interventions for children who experienced neglect, with limited trauma and child focused interventions available. Furthermore, gaps are prominent in external validity and generalizability, including underrepresentation of ethnic minority populations. Future studies should incorporate culturally sensitive recruitment practices for increasing ethnic minority groups and are encouraged to apply intensive, multicomponent interventions.
