Abstract
This
workshop
convened
for
the
first
time
most
of
the
leading
global
experts
on
the
epidemiology
of
violence
against
children.
Participants
exchanged
information
regarding
the
current
state
of
international
epidemiological
research
about
child
protection
and
discussed
methodological
problems
involved
in
trying
to
arrive
at
the
most
accurate
estimates
of
the
prevalence
of
different
forms
of
child
maltreatment
around
the
world.
The
attendees
also
presented
the
findings
of
meta-‐
analyses
they
had
carried
out
on
the
prevalence
of
violence
against
children
around
the
world
and
discussed
methodological
problems
in
conducting
meta-‐analysis
and
in
the
cross-‐national
epidemiology
of
violence
against
children.
Their
aim
was
to
identify
areas
in
the
field
that
need
strengthening,
promote
exchanges
between
researchers
and
greater
coordination
of
their
efforts,
and
formulate
recommendations
for
future
research
activities.
