Although physicians play important key roles in the management of child abuse and neglect cases, most physicians are reluctant to get involved for the following reasons: lack of experience, inability to obtain the facts, emotional ties with the family, parent criticism or retaliation, reluctance to spend time in court, fear of lawsuit, etc.1 -6 Silver et al. studied the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pediatricians, general practitioners, and hospital house staff in Washington, D.C.,7 and Nagi more recently interviewed pediatricians and other physicians with special interest in the area of child abuse and neglect.8 Both studies confirmed the limited involvement of practicing physicians in this medical problem area. However, since very little is known on a nationwide basis of current knowledge, attitudes, and experience of physicians in the area of child abuse and neglect, a nationwide study was undertaken in 1974.
