The special issue, Developing Public Health Approaches to Child Abuse and Neglect, will feature epidemiological and basic science studies may address aims that delineate the prevalence, mechanisms, economic cost, and public health impact of child maltreatment.
We are particularly interested in studies leveraging (1) epidemiological approaches, cost-of-illness/economic burden analysis, and/or population-level or large public datasets; (2) community partnerships and multisector coordination with stakeholders and policymakers; and (3) rigorous analytic methods (e.g., causal inference, longitudinal multilevel models, synthetic control designs, survival analysis).
