... Contrary to our expectation [43], the results did not demonstrate a stronger association with neglect than abuse. For the youngest children, the coefficient for abuse was larger than that for neglect and for the older child groups, although not statistically significant, the coefficients were similar. ...

... The Indonesian government began implementing a hybrid learning policy while still implementing strict health protocols during the transition Children still do not get a regular learning and social environment during this transition and recovery. Thus, in addition to uncompromising health protocol services, recovery from various traumas children face during the pandemic is needed for child welfare [48][49][50][51]. ...

... An efficient and viable way to create evidence-based policy and practice is to create partnerships across the sectors of research, policy, and practice (Schelbe, Wilson, Fickler, Williams-Mbengue, & Klika, 2020). These partnerships help bridge the gaps between "what is known" and "what is done" (Leslie, Maciolek, Biebel, Debordes-Jackson, & Nicholson, 2014) by placing an explicit focus on "problems of practice" (Coburn & Penuel, 2016). ...

... It has been well-established that child abuse has both short-term and long-term pernicious effects on mental and physical health (see Humphreys et al., 2020;Norman et al., 2012;Scott et al., 2012 for meta-analyses). A substantial body of research has indicated that child abuse may drive alterations in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis functioning (see Holochwost et al., 2020 for a review). However, limited research has explored how psychological and physical abuse are uniquely associated with HPA axis functioning, and less is known about whether psychosocial factors may moderate these associations. ...

... • Çocuklar çok küçük yaşlardan itibaren bedenleri hakkında ebeveynlerine soru sormaktadır. Ebeveynler bu noktada çocuklarının cinsel gelişimi ve cinsel sağlıkları konusunda önemli bir role sahiptirler (Klika 2020). ...

... In the US in 2018, $3.5 million children received an investigation for suspected maltreatment, 678 000 children were substantiated as victims, 207 000 children received foster care services, and 1770 children died as a result of maltreatment. 1 The lifetime economic burdens associated with only 1 year of maltreatment have been estimated at $2.96 trillion. 2,3 Despite these burdens, few individual-level prevention modalities have proven effective. [4][5][6] Strengthening families' economic well-being through a public health model has been considered an essential and effective strategy toward preventing child maltreatment. ...

... This could offer protection for children at risk of further harm. Police obtain information that could be shared with paramedics who could then use this as a basis for intervention using a public health model to prevent and reduce harm from CEDV (Herrenkohl & Klika, 2019). ...

... promoting use of the term 'sexual exploitation' rather than 'child prostitution'); advancing new ideas around child safeguarding and protection that are survivorcentered; drawing attention to the imbalances in power between children and perpetrators; educating media representatives on how to present CSA cases; and developing platforms that amplify the voice of CSA survivors. Frame changes connected with CSA survivors are especially difficult but critical in contexts where unfavorable social norms, which support patriarchy as well as male entitlement and domination, persist (Klika et al., 2019). ...

... The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2022) views CP as a form of violence against children. However, CP tends to be seen as normal in many countries including the U.S. (Lansford et al., 2005), and denormalizing this behavior is a challenge for social workers and health practitioners (Klika & Linkenbach, 2019). As the emerging literature related to social norms and CP indicates that perceived norms predict the use of CP (Duong, 2023;Taylor, Hamvas, Rice, et al., 2011), understanding factors shaping CP norms not only contributes to the social influence literature but also provides practical implications to child development intervention programs. ...

... Dicha organización especifica que todas las formas de violencia infantil pueden tener efectos a largo plazo, afectando la salud psicológica en la vida adulta. El abuso físico (Herrenkohl y Hyunzee, 2016;Jung et al., 2019;Tussey et al., 2021), el abuso sexual (Jennings et al., 2015;Teiterman et al., 2017;Zietz et al., 2020), el abuso psicológico (Richards et al., 2017;Godbout et al., 2019;Annor et al., 2020), la negligencia emocional y física (Miliniak y Spatz, 2015;Lee et al., 2021;McMahon et al., 2015;Chirwa et al., 2018), y la exposición a experiencias de violencia en la dinámica familiar (Teva et al., 2020y Forke et al., 2021Kimber et al., 2018) han sido relacionados a la perpetración de violencia íntima de pareja. Así mismo, otros autores notaron una asociación entre la presencia de trastornos mentales en la infancia (Maguire et al., 2015; y en la adultez (Kamimura et al., 2016;Machisa y Shamu, 2018;Jose et al., 2021) y la perpetración de violencia íntima de pareja. ...
