“…To date, systematic reviews by Carter, Bannon, Limbert, Docherty, and Barlow (2006)) and Turner et al (2017) provide two key pieces of information about educational interventions evaluated among HSSPs within and outside of Canada The first relates to a limited focus on certain types of HSSPs and certain types of child maltreatment. Specifically, interventions included in these reviews (and interventions that have been published since) have tended to focus on medical, nursing, midwifery, dental, and early childhood care providers in the United States (US), as well as recognition and response to child physical and sexual abuse among young children ( Carter et al, 2006 ; Kenny, 2007 ; Mathews et al, 2017 ; Palusci & McHugh, 1995 ; Paranal, Washington Thomas, & Derrick, 2012 ; Parker, McMillan, Olson, Ruppel, & Vieth, 2019 ; Rheingold et al, 2015 ; Smeekens et al, 2011 ; Turner et al, 2017 ; Yang et al, 2020 ). Importantly, few of these interventions have undergone high quality evaluations and it remains unclear as to whether or not any of these educational interventions yield reductions in the recurrence of the type(s) of child maltreatment investigated, nor is it clear whether the interventions yield improved health outcomes for children and their caregivers.…”
