Child maltreatment reporting during the initial weeks of COVID-19 in the US: Findings from NCANDS.
Shusterman GR , Fluke JD , Nunez JJ , Fettig NB , Kebede BK . Child Abuse Negl 2022 134 105929 BACKGROUND: After the national COVID-19 emergency declaration in the U.S. in March 2020, child welfare agencies observed large reductions in maltreatment reporting. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on child maltreatment reporting nationally to inform policy for future emergencies. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Administrative data from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS) for 48 states for federal fiscal years (FFYs) 2017 through 2020. METHODS: Analyses focused on reports to child protective services (CPS) between weeks 12 and 24 of calendar years 2017 through 2020 (mid-March through mid-June). Report sources of screened in and substantiated reports were compared with those during the prior year. Likelihood of a report being substantiated in 2020 compared with 2019 based on report source was calculated using odds ratios. RESULTS: In 2020, CPS screened in 39% fewer reports than during the same period in 2019 and the proportion of reports substantiated increased from 18 to 22%. Reports from all report sources decreased, especially from education personnel (90% decrease) and child daycare providers (65% decrease). The odds for substantiation were significantly higher during 2020 than in 2019 for reports from all but three sources. CONCLUSION: During the initial weeks following the national COVID-19 emergency declaration, the number of reports to CPS declined sharply at the national level and across all states, primarily in association with a large reduction in referrals from education sentinels. Explanations for the increase in percent of substantiation in the context of reduction of reports are considered. |
Global epidemiology of HIV
Fettig J , Swaminathan M , Murrill CS , Kaplan JE . Infect Dis Clin North Am 2014 28 (3) 323-37 The number of persons living with HIV worldwide reached approximately 35.3 million in 2012. Meanwhile, AIDS-related deaths and new HIV infections have declined. Much of the increase in HIV prevalence is from rapidly increasing numbers of people on antiretroviral treatment who are now living longer. There is regional variation in epidemiologic patterns, major modes of HIV transmission, and HIV program response. It is important to focus on HIV incidence, rather than prevalence, to provide information about HIV transmission patterns and populations at risk. Expanding HIV treatment will function as a preventive measure through decreasing horizontal and vertical transmission of HIV. |
