Child maltreatment (CM) is a major public health issue with lifelong consequences on mental health, quality of life, educational and economic prospects of children who experienced CM. Early identification of maltreated children is important to prevent further CM and ensure that children's basic needs are met, as well as to address and avoid further consequences. However, above and beyond early identification, it is crucial to avoid the occurrence of CM. This may include the reduction of risk factors at the family and community level as well as creating supportive environments for growing up safely. Therefore, we need to understand the prevention of CM conceptually and view it not only from a medical perspective, but also from a population health perspective. The aim of this scoping review is to identify and describe theories, models or frameworks on the prevention of CM from a broad population health perspective, considering primary, secondary and tertiary prevention strategies.
A broad search in four databases (PubMed (NIH NLM), PsycInfo (Ovid), CINAHL Plus (EBSCOhost) and Web of Science (Clarivate)) will be conducted from 2009 to current. Additionally, the grey literature on websites from key public health organisations will be considered. Results will be reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews: Checklist and Explanation (2018). The review will include articles describing a theory, model or framework on prevention strategies for CM. Studies focussing on single interventions that do not describe prevention strategies conceptually, will be excluded. General characteristics of the frameworks, theories and models and information on types of prevention strategies they describe will be extracted. Findings will be presented in a structured table format as well as narratively.
As we will not collect any personal, confidential or sensitive data, ethical approval is not required. We will publish our results in a scientific journal, present them at conferences and use them for further knowledge translation activities.

儿童虐待是一个重大的公共卫生问题，会对经历过儿童虐待的儿童的心理健康、生活质量、教育和经济前景产生终身影响。尽早识别受虐待儿童对于防止进一步的儿童虐待、确保儿童的基本需求得到满足以及应对和避免进一步的后果至关重要。然而，除了早期识别之外，避免儿童虐待的发生至关重要。这可能包括减少家庭和社区层面的风险因素，以及营造安全成长的支持性环境。因此，我们需要从概念上理解儿童虐待的预防，不仅要从医学角度，还要从人群健康角度来看待它。本范围综述的目的是从广泛的人群健康角度，考虑一级、二级和三级预防策略，识别和描述关于儿童虐待预防的理论、模型或框架。
将对2009年至今的四个数据库（美国国立医学图书馆的PubMed、Ovid的PsycInfo、EBSCOhost的CINAHL Plus和科睿唯安的Web of Science）进行广泛检索。此外，还将考虑关键公共卫生组织网站上的灰色文献。将按照《系统评价和Meta分析扩展版范围综述的首选报告项目：清单和解释》（2018年）报告结果。该综述将纳入描述儿童虐待预防策略的理论、模型或框架的文章。专注于单一干预措施且未从概念上描述预防策略的研究将被排除。将提取框架、理论和模型的一般特征以及它们所描述的预防策略类型的信息。研究结果将以结构化表格形式以及叙述形式呈现。
由于我们不会收集任何个人、机密或敏感数据，因此无需伦理批准。我们将在科学期刊上发表研究结果，在会议上展示，并将其用于进一步的知识转化活动。该范围综述已在开放科学框架注册：https://osf.io/49g7z/ 。
