At-a-glance - The Child Maltreatment Surveillance Indicator Framework. Health Promot Chronic Dis Prev Can. 2020 Feb;40(2):58-61 Authors: Campeau A, Qadri S, Barakat F, Williams G, Hovdestad W, Shahid M, Lary T Abstract The federal health portfolio has conducted surveillance on child maltreatment as a public health issue since the 1990s. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is now releasing the Child Maltreatment Indicator Framework, to take its place alongside other PHAC frameworks, such as the Suicide Surveillance Indicator Framework. Based on a scoping review of existing reviews and meta-analyses, this Framework, along with the online interactive data tool, presents child maltreatment outcome indicators and risk and protective factors at the individual, family, community and societal levels, disaggregated by sex, age and other sociodemographic variables. This Framework will function as a valuable resource pertaining to an issue that affects at least one in three Canadian adults. PMID: 32049467 [PubMed - in process]
