Abstract

These findings represent the primary analyses conducted using LONGSCAN data, but the investigators and other scientists continue to work with the data to examine other important issues. The dataset is housed at the National Data Archives 4 on Child Abuse and Neglect. LONGSCAN’s remarkable duration and scope have been noted by the Institute of Medicine in the recent review of child maltreatment research. We are not done; the study continues with a grant supported by the National Institutes of Health and led by Dr. Howard Dubowitz, which will continue to follow the participants, now young adults, into their 20s.
