摘要
Reliable national child maltreatment data are needed for developing and modifying policies aimed at preventing child maltreatment and helping child victims of maltreatment. Health Canada hosted a daylong forum in 2002 to solicit feedback from senior Government of Canada policy and program officials involved in child welfare programs and research in regard to the data collected in the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS). This article reviews the discussions and debates regarding the utility of the CIS data for government policy makers and reflects on the implications for surveillance and knowledge in the area of child maltreatment. The key themes are definitions and measurement issues, the value of enhanced and additional data, and challenges to linking research and practice.
