Considerations Regarding Fatality Data and Etiology John D. Fluke Kempe Center, University of Colorado School of Medicine Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities Denver, CO 22th September 2014

Content Questions of concern Current sources of national maltreatment fatality data Trends in child maltreatment related fatalities in the US International comparisons for maltreatment related fatalities Implications

Questions of concern In what ways are currently available national data on child maltreatment useful to inform our understanding of etiology? Can these data be translated into insights that are useful for policy and in what contexts? What are the limitations of the data?

Current Primary Sources of National Maltreatment Fatality Data and Some Limitations National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System – Case level data from CPS – Aggregate data from sources other than CPS – Limitations Dependent on varied data collection and child protection policies (state and local), definitions, and systems Limited to events defined as in scope for maltreatment A range of maltreatment fatalities may not be counted Centers for Disease Control – Based on International Disease Codes (ICD) Connected with Death Registries (ICD 9 & ICD 10) – Maltreatment Related Violent Injury – Limitations Does not include neglect Broad sets of conditions that may or may not reflect maltreatment

Trends in Child Maltreatment Related Fatalities Our current approaches to addressing maltreatment fatalities are not improving the situation for children

10 Trends in child maltreatment are of great importance for children and their families, practitioners, and policy makers. In high income countries policy and practice thresholds for child maltreatment decisions shift making trends, positive or negative, difficult to discern and interpret. What can be understood about these trends by using multiple indicators? What can we learn about child protection policy by looking at trends across several countries facing similar challenges? Can the use of consistent enumeration methods help to elucidate trends due to such factors as occurrence, policy, and case mis, and random chance? Aim of the Study

 6 countries/states  Sweden, England, Western Australia, New Zealand, Manitoba (Canada), USA  3 types of indicators – children < 11yr  Violent death  Maltreatment-related injury admission  Child protection contacts (notification, investigation, substantiation, neglect, physical abuse, out of home care (children not episodes) Focus of the Study

Violent Death Indicator ICD 9 and 10 Codes Sourced from the World Health Organization (CDC is the Source in the US) Violent death - Due to homicide, inflicted injury, or injury of undetermined intent. Relates to physical abuse or assault. Violence may be perpetrated by carers (therefore physical abuse). If perpetrated by other adults or children violent death can, but not always, reflect inadequate supervision (neglect). 12

US Data Under Age 1 13 Violent Deaths (WHO) Officially Recognized Maltreatment(CPS) Investigations(CPS) Neglect (CPS) Physical Abuse (CPS) Maltreatment Syndrome or Assault (HCUP, KID) Maltreatment-related Injury Admissions (HCUP, KID)

US Data Ages Violent Deaths (WHO) Officially Recognized Maltreatment(CPS) Investigations(CPS) Neglect (CPS) Physical Abuse (CPS) Maltreatment Syndrome or Assault (HCUP, KID) Maltreatment-related Injury Admissions (HCUP, KID)

International comparisons for maltreatment related fatalities indicate children in the US are at great risk compared to other High Income Countries (HIC).

Rate Ratios

Does residency in the US constitute a type of risk factor for maltreatment fatality? Implications: – Prevention is key, public health strategies seem best poised to realize reductions in maltreatment fatalities as other approaches do not appear to have worked – The experience of other countries indicates that maltreatment related fatalities can be reduced, so we should be able to improve as well A dilemma: – Can we develop effective public health strategies to reduce maltreatment fatalities in the US in ways that are consistent with our values, or where our values are not in conflict? – A few ideas

Summing Up Measurement of maltreatment fatality – Consistent with public health principles – Guided by public health strategies, and definitions that are relevant for these strategies – Other needs for fatality data, while important, are less helpful at state and national levels in creating conditions for fatality reduction US values as Barriers and Opportunities – Identify short term strategies that are value neutral – Consider long term strategies that address values
