Financial Cost of Child Abuse
March 29, 2010 | 1 Comment
I received an email from a reader asking me to please post information about the financial cost of child abuse in the US. I’m happy to be able to post some relatively recent publications on the topic, the most specific being Prevent Child Abuse America’s 2007 report, Total Estimated Cost of Child Abuse and Neglect in the United States: An Economic Impact Study (PDF).
Aside from the PCAA report, though, there have been some interesting research articles that look at a variety of aspects of this issue (including some Canada-specific ones). I’ve linked to their abstracts below:
- *Child maltreatment and adult socioeconomic well-being (2009)
- *Health care utilization and costs associated with childhood abuse (2008)
- *Intimate partner violence and health care costs and utilization for children living in the home (2007)
- *Measuring costs of child abuse and neglect: a mathematic model of specific cost estimations (2006)
- *The influence of child abuse on the pattern of expenditures in women’s adult health service utilization in Ontario, Canada (2006)
- *The economic burden of hospitalizations associated with child abuse and neglect (2004)
- *The economic costs of child sexual abuse in Canada: a preliminary analysis (2003)
- *Costs of childhood physical abuse: comparing inflicted and unintentional traumatic brain injuries (2003)
- Add: New in 2011, Social and economic costs of violence–workshop summary (Deepali M. Patel and Rachel M. Taylor, Rapporteurs; Forum on Global Violence Prevention; Institute of Medicine)
