Health and social consequences of child abuse and neglect: an analysis using South Australian linked data

虐待儿童可导致一系列不良的健康、社会和经济后果。目前的调查几乎没有告诉我们这些对年轻人的影响有多大，特别是对那些最坏的结果——死亡、无家可归、住院、监禁——的年轻人。本研究将使用来自医院、儿童保护和其他服务的数据来探索虐待对南非年轻人的影响以及政府的相关成本，为改善这一弱势群体的结果提供政策依据。

Child maltreatment can result in a range of poor health, social and economic outcomes. Current surveys tell us little about the size of these impacts for young people especially for those with the worst outcomes—death, homelessness, hospitalisation, incarceration. This study will use data from hospitals, child protection and other services to explore the impacts of maltreatment on young people in SA and related costs to government, to inform policy to improve outcomes for this vulnerable group.
