Abstract | Background: Exposure to child maltreatment creates risk for adverse social, health, and economic outcomes across generations. The socioecological model posits the well-being of individuals, including children and youth, is shaped by the larger systems they exist in. Employing state-level policies to position school settings to effectively identify and intervene in instances of child maltreatment is an important secondary prevention opportunity. Objective: This study examines the relationship between state-level policies that call for school based trainings to promote the recognition of and response to child maltreatment, and states' annual rates of substantiated child maltreatment reports. Methods: Relevant policies were identified and abstracted to generate measures of policy presence and comprehensiveness. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System was used to derive rates of substantiated child maltreatment reports by state and year. Child maltreatment rates were the dependent variable and policy measures were the primary explanatory variables in a difference-in-differences (DD) model series with state-level clustering and year-fixed effects. Results: The DD model series suggest significant, positive relationships between the presence of policies calling for school-based recognition and response training and child abuse (IRR 1.140, p = 0.04) as well as child physical abuse outcomes (IRR 1.150, p = 0.05). Sensitivity analyses suggest the relationships between policy presence and abuse outcomes were stronger for children than for adolescents. Conclusion: These findings suggest that related policies may be effective secondary prevention tools for child maltreatment. |
