The authors surveyed California dentists about their knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding child abuse and neglect. Only 16 percent of the respondents claimed to have seen or suspected a case of child abuse or neglect during the preceding five years, and only 6 percent claimed to have reported such a case. The authors also found that the respondents had little knowledge of California law regarding the reporting of such cases and little information or training in diagnosing and reporting suspected child abuse and neglect.
作者就虐待和忽视儿童方面的知识、态度及做法对加利福尼亚州的牙医进行了调查。在之前的五年中，仅有16%的受访者称曾见过或怀疑存在虐待或忽视儿童的情况，只有6%的受访者称曾举报过此类情况。作者还发现，受访者对加利福尼亚州关于举报此类情况的法律知之甚少，在诊断及举报疑似虐待和忽视儿童情况方面几乎没有信息或培训。
