Abstract: Abuse and neglect affect over 1.7 billion children worldwide. While the consequences of child maltreatment (CM) across the life course are well understood, there remains ambiguity surrounding the risk factors associated with CM. This exploratory study examined the extent to which a wide range of sociodemographic, prenatal, and postpartum risk factors are associated with CM notifications in an Australian birth cohort.
