Description: In a recent supplement to the American Journal of Preventive Medicine on approaches to measuring the incidence of the leading cause of fatal child maltreatment — inflicted brain injury — a staff member of the World Health Organization asserted that the major element missing from the global response to child maltreatment was “epidemiologically informed methods for monitoring its occurrence”. This view was reinforced when, in the year after its 2009 series on child maltreatment, The Lancet asked leading professionals in child health and welfare what question they most needed to be answered by the scientific published work. Their response was “Are trends in child maltreatment decreasing?”
