The federal health portfolio has conducted surveillance on child maltreatment as a public health issue since the 1990s. The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is now releasing the Child Maltreatment Indicator Framework, to take its place alongside other PHAC frameworks, such as the Suicide Surveillance Indicator Framework. Based on a scoping review of existing reviews and meta-analyses, this Framework, along with the online interactive data tool, presents child maltreatment outcome indicators and risk and protective factors at the individual, family, community and societal levels, disaggregated by sex, age and other sociodemographic variables. This Framework will function as a valuable resource pertaining to an issue that affects at least one in three Canadian adults.
自 20 世纪 90 年代以来,联邦卫生部门一直将儿童虐待作为公共卫生问题进行监测。加拿大公共卫生局(PHAC)目前正在发布《儿童虐待指标框架》,以取代其现有的其他框架,如《自杀监测指标框架》。该框架基于对现有评论和荟萃分析的范围审查,以及在线交互式数据工具,展示了个人、家庭、社区和社会层面的儿童虐待后果指标以及风险和保护因素,按性别、年龄和其他社会人口变量进行了细分。该框架将成为一个与影响至少三分之一加拿大成年人的问题相关的宝贵资源。
