Public Health Approach to Child Abuse and Neglect: Antecedents and Outcomes (Apr 2012 to Jun 2019)

This project uses longitudinal population data provided through the Developmental Pathways in WA Children Project (Developmental Pathways Project).

This administrative data is being used to: investigate emergency department presentations and hospital admissions related to child abuse and neglect; determine the mental health and juvenile justice outcomes of children who have contact with the child protection system; and investigate the child, family and community characteristics which increase or reduce vulnerability to child abuse and neglect.
