Abstract
Highlights
In this longitudinal cohort, maltreatment experts retained 251 of 29,600 items available
Probable maltreatment indicators were derived: presence, chronicity, extent of exposure, and cumulative maltreatment
Prevalence rates vary from 3.3% and 44.9% across developmental periods, and 16.5- 67.3% by the end of adolescence
Prospective and retrospective maltreatment identify different groups of individuals
As most studies use retrospective data, findings suggest that the representation of child maltreatment is incomplete and retrospective reports should be complimented by prospective data, whenever possible.
