Lifetime Prevalence of Investigating Child Maltreatment Among US Children
Cornell University · New York State University College of Human Ecology
Abstract
To estimate the lifetime prevalence of official investigations for child maltreatment among children in the United States.
We used the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System Child Files (2003-2014) and Census data to develop synthetic cohort life tables to estimate the cumulative prevalence of reported childhood maltreatment. We extend previous work, which explored only confirmed rates of maltreatment, and we add new estimations of maltreatment by subtype, age, and ethnicity.
