儿童虐待性头部创伤（AHT）是幼儿中致命儿童虐待的主要原因。目前的预防工作并非一贯有效。考虑到带薪育儿假等政策对儿童虐待的风险因素的影响，可能会潜在地防止未成年人拐卖儿童。为了探索加州2004年带薪家庭假（PFL）政策与AHT住院率之间的关系，我们使用了1995-2011年美国州级数据的差异分析，在加州和七个比较州的政策前后。与七个没有PFL政策的州相比，加利福尼亚州2004年的PFL显示，< 1岁和< 2岁儿童的AHT入学率显著下降。使用额外的数据年份和比较物进行分析可能会产生不同的结果。
Pediatric abusive head trauma (AHT) is a leading cause of fatal child maltreatment among young children. Current prevention efforts have not been consistently effective. Policies, such as paid parental leave could potentially prevent AHT, given its impacts on risk factors for child maltreatment. To explore associations between California’s 2004 paid family leave (PFL) policy and hospital admissions for AHT, we used difference-in-difference analyses of 1995–2011 US state-level data before and after the policy in California and seven comparison states. Compared to seven states with no PFL policies, California’s 2004 PFL showed a significant decrease of AHT admissions in both < 1 and < 2year-olds. Analyses using additional data years and comparators could yield different results.
