    Background:

    • Child neglect is a significant public health issue with long-term consequences.
    • Accurate assessment tools are crucial for identifying at-risk children and implementing interventions.
    • Existing measures may have limitations in comprehensively defining neglect factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the reliability of the Childhood Level of Living Scale (CLLS) for assessing child neglect.
    • To determine if the CLLS effectively identifies key factors associated with child neglect.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved new testing and validation of the Childhood Level of Living Scale.
    • Statistical analyses were performed to assess the scale's internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
    • The scale's ability to differentiate between varying levels of neglect was examined.

    Main Results:

    • The Childhood Level of Living Scale demonstrated strong evidence of reliability in new testing.
    • The scale effectively identified multiple factors contributing to child neglect.
    • Results indicate the CLLS is a dependable instrument for neglect assessment.

    Conclusions:

    • The Childhood Level of Living Scale is a reliable tool for defining factors in child neglect.
    • This validated scale can aid professionals in child welfare and healthcare settings.
    • Further research should explore the scale's utility in diverse populations and longitudinal studies.
