“…Risk factors for child maltreatment: A large proportion of studies examined risk factors for child maltreatment. Several studies examined associations between maltreatment and maternal and perinatal risk factors, such as maternal marital status, maternal ethnicity, maternal age, maternal education level, engagement with prenatal care, smoking or substance use during pregnancy, alcohol or substance use after pregnancy, maternal experience of domestic violence or assault in the perinatal period, and maternal mental health disorders ( Austin et al, 2018 ; Cant et al, 2019 ; Cram et al, 2015 ; Eastman & Putnam-Hornstein, 2019 ; Ekéus et al, 2004 ; Finno-Velasquez et al, 2017 ; Gessner et al, 2004 ; M.

Family-level factors examined included family socioeconomic status ( Austin et al, 2018 ; Cant et al, 2019 ; Coulton et al, 2016 ; Segal et al, 2019 ), birth order/number of children in the family ( Austin et al, 2018 ; Högberg et al, 2019 ; Parrish et al, 2011 ; Parrish & Gessner, 2010 ; Putnam-Hornstein et al, 2011 ; Putnam-Hornstein & Needell, 2011 ; Van Horne et al, 2018 ), and previous experience/reports of maltreatment for the focal child ( Eastman et al, 2016 ; Papalia et al, 2017 ; Putnam-Hornstein, 2011 ; Putnam-Hornstein, Cleves, Licht, & Needell, 2013 ) or their siblings ( Eastman et al, 2016 ; Wilson et al, 2015 ).

Leveraging Administrative Data to Better Understand and Address Child Maltreatment: A Scoping Review of Data Linkage Studies

et al. 2022

Background This scoping review aimed to overview studies that used administrative data linkage in the context of child maltreatment to improve our understanding of the value that data linkage may confer for policy, practice, and research. Methods We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and ERIC electronic databases in June 2019 and May 2020 for studies that linked two or more datasets (at least one of which was administrative in nature) to study child maltreatment. We report findings with numerical and narrative summary. Results We included 121 studies, mainly from the United States or Australia and published in the past decade. Data came primarily from social services and health sectors, and linkage processes and data quality were often not described in sufficient detail to align with current reporting guidelines. Most studies were descriptive in nature and research questions addressed fell under eight themes: descriptive epidemiology, risk factors, outcomes, intergenerational transmission, predictive modelling, intervention/service evaluation, multi-sector involvement, and methodological considerations/advancements. Conclusions Included studies demonstrated the wide variety of ways in which data linkage can contribute to the public health response to child maltreatment. However, how research using linked data can be translated into effective service development and monitoring, or targeting of interventions, is underexplored in terms of privacy protection, ethics and governance, data quality, and evidence of effectiveness.

“…This review explored the literature relating to the prevention of child sexual abuse, excluding studies about child abuse and neglect (CAN) more broadly. A correlation has been found between household overcrowding and sexual abuse of children (Cant et al, 2019, cited in Bywaters et al, 2022, however, there is no further evidence that specific forms of CAN are more or less likely to be associated with poverty (Bywaters et al, 2022). To date, the challenge to prevent the emergence of CSA by people at risk of offending against children has been largely unmet at a systemic policy level in Australia.…”

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a significant public health problem, impacting individuals, families and communities across the lifespan. This systematic scoping review aimed to identify practices associated with the prevention of CSA before it happens using the PRISMA method (Moher et al., 2009). Nine databases were searched for empirical literature, resulting in a sample of 47 articles addressing the prevention of child sexual abuse. A definition of CSA prevention and research questions were developed in consultation with subject matter experts to provide a conceptual guide for analysing available empirical and theoretical literature published between 2012 and 2022. Studies were excluded that reported on CSA education. Included articles were analysed to identify common elements of prevention approaches and the policy conditions enabling and constraining prevention. Three approaches were identified: (i) engaging and stopping those at risk of using sexually harmful behaviour; (ii) situational prevention in child- and youth-serving organisations; (iii) preventing the emergence of CSA by promoting healthy families and communities. The article also discusses policy settings that enable and constrain CSA prevention in Australia and identifies gaps in existing research.

“…Health care or treatment facilities have to be ensured for the children by family or concern people (UNCRC, 1990) but it is seen that they are victimized by maltreatment. Maltreatment includes household poverty (Slack et al, 2004), high neighborhood poverty (Farrell et al, 2017), overcrowded housing (Cant et al, 2019), social isolation (Gracia and Musitu, 2003), intimate partner violence (Zolotor et al, 2007), and parental substance misuse (Kepple, 2018). In addition, parental understanding and ability to respond to children's needs is relevant and is informed by parents own experiences of being parented (Howe, 2005), disability, behavioral problems, and poor child-parent attachment (Maclean et al, 2017;Howe, 2005).…”

Child vulnerability refers to the conditions where children have not the ability to protect themselves from harassment, maltreatment, and malnutrition which could weaken. This study has tried to reveal the prevalence and the nature of child vulnerability in Bangladesh, and the root causes of child vulnerability have also been explored and debated and discussed throughout the article. However, the study is narrative and qualitative in the manner and secondary data have been used to develop and support the arguments for the study. As findings, the study has also found that children are at great risks due to some notable reasons, such as excessive academic pressure, the worst form of child labor in the working place, disability, child trafficking, and natural disasters which led them to be victimized with maltreatment and malnutrition which is more prevalent in the rural and urban slum areas. Moreover, climate change and disasters have been playing an adverse role to increase the prevalence of children's vulnerability in Bangladesh. In conclusion, the study suggests that decision-makers and policymakers need to be more conscious and responsible to revise the existing legal frameworks and their effective implementation for the protection of children against vulnerability.
