Karin Helweg-Larsen, Helmer Bøving Larsen

    Abstract

    Cross National Comparisons: Youth Population Surveys
    About Child Maltreatment
    In this multi-session track, researchers will present the results concerning the epidemiology of child maltreatment from over one dozen general population surveys of youth, covering four continents and portions of the world where epidemiologic data has not been previously available. Organizers will request in advance that the presenters include some data in formats that can be compared across studies.
    In a final session, the organizers will lead a discussion about the challenges of national surveys and cross national comparison and the advantages and disadvantages of various sampling designs, modes of survey administration, question formats and human subject protection procedures.
