  • Child Abuse and Neglect

Background:

  • Child maltreatment is a growing concern for pediatricians.
  • Effective identification and management of child maltreatment are crucial for child welfare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the child maltreatment training and resources available to pediatric residents in US programs.
  • To identify areas for improvement in pediatric residency education regarding child maltreatment.

Main Methods:

  • Mailed questionnaires were distributed to all US pediatric residency programs.
  • Response rate was 72% of all programs.

Main Results:

  • Median training hours varied by year: 8 hours (1st and 3rd year), 7 hours (2nd year).
  • Approximately 50% of training involved clinical supervision for maltreated children.
