Breaking the cycle of intergenerational child maltreatment using 'big data'

该项目旨在利用50多年来新南威尔士州儿童及其父母人口队列的相关数据，对代际儿童虐待问题进行首次全面调查。该项目将利用创新的统计技术，产生关于开始、几代人继续虐待儿童或创伤循环被打破的家庭的普遍程度和特点的新知识。预期的结果包括，只有通过综合机构间数据才能了解代际家庭创伤的真实流行情况，并提高识别跨机构杠杆的能力，努力打破代际不利循环。

This project aims to provide the first comprehensive investigation of inter-generational child maltreatment using over 50 years of linked data for a population cohort of children and their parents in New South Wales. The project will generate new knowledge about the prevalence and characteristics of families in which child maltreatment is initiated, maintained across generations, or in which the trauma cycle is broken, using innovative statistical techniques. Expected outcomes include new knowledge of the true prevalence of inter-generational family trauma that can only be known from combining inter-agency data, and enhanced capacity to identify cross-agency levers in an effort to break the cycle of inter-generational disadvantage.
