Abstract

Description

This PolicyLab Evidence to Action Brief provides an overview of data sources and data collection systems relevant to child maltreatment in order to stimulate a broader discussion about the development of more robust surveillance systems in this area. Understanding data can help agency administrators and other decision-makers better interpret the information and use existing data to respond to and prevent child maltreatment.
