Abstract
New Directions in Child Abuse and Neglect Research, a report by the Institute of Medicine
(IOM) and National Research Council (NRC), emphasizes that child abuse and neglect
are serious public health issues. Building on research findings gleaned during the past
20 years, the report calls for a systems approach to child abuse and neglect research
and highlights the importance of adopting a critical stratification lens1
in considering the
impact of social and economic factors on child abuse and neglect.
Addressing these public health problems will require an expanded research response
that is grounded in the complex environments and systems within which child abuse and
neglect occur. The purpose of this document is to guide researchers
toward new directions in child abuse and neglect research.
