Children Fleeing War-Exploring the Mental Health of Refugee Children Arriving in Israel after the Ukraine 2022 Conflict
CONCLUSIONS: Child refugees frequently experience psychological distress, even if they do not meet the formal diagnostic criteria for PTSD. They often exhibit other distress symptoms, primarily internalizing problems, which can be challenging to detect. A deeper understanding of the challenges faced by refugee children can inform the development of targeted assistance programs and the recruitment and training of personnel in host countries.PMID:38141479 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106608 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Positive and adverse childhood experiences and mental health outcomes of children
This study provides information about the moderating effect of PCEs on the relationship between ACEs and child mental health diagnosis with the goal of informing policies and interventions focused on ameliorating the growing crisis of children's negative mental health and well-being. WHAT IS KNOWN?: Adverse childhood events (ACEs) like abuse, neglect and household dysfunction are known to negatively impact the mental health and well-being of children. Positive childhood experiences (PCEs), on the other hand, can positively influence the mental health and well-being of children. WHAT DOES THIS ARTICLE ADD?: This study exami...

Retinal hemorrhage variation in inertial versus contact head injuries
CONCLUSIONS: cRH are significantly associated with inertial angular acceleration forces. They can occur without brain hypoxia, ischemia or swelling suggesting they are not secondary injuries.PMID:38134727 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106606 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Agent-based simulation and child protection systems: Rationale, implementation, and verification
CONCLUSIONS: Management of public child protection systems is increasingly research evidence-dependent. The emphasis on research evidence as a decision-support tool has elevated evidence acquired through randomized clinical trials. Though important, the evidence from clinical trials represents only one type of research evidence. Properly specified, simulation models are another source of evidence with real-world relevance.PMID:38128373 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106578 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

A gap in the data: Defining, identifying, and tracking children with medical complexity in the child welfare system
CONCLUSIONS: Many US child welfare agencies lack a clear definition to identify and track CMC, impacting the ability to tailor care and service delivery to meet their unique needs. To address this, a clear definition for CMC should be developed and consistently applied within child welfare data systems. Once CMC are identifiable, future research can collect population-level data and provide recommendations for best practices and policies.PMID:38118290 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106600 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)

Risk factors for sexual harassment and abuse victimization among adolescent athletes and non-athletes: A one-year follow-up study

The deinstitutionalization of children and adolescents in El Salvador's child protection system
CONCLUSIONS: The Salvadoran CPS requires substantial systemic changes. Encouragingly, key informants have demonstrated a commitment to reform not only the deinstitutionalization process but also the broader CPS system in El Salvador including case management and quality of care in institutional settings.PMID:38113572 | DOI:10.1016/j.chiabu.2023.106601 (Source: Child Abuse and Neglect)
