Teachers' Recognition and Reporting of Child Abuse.

Turbett, J. Patrick; O'Toole, Richard

Journal of School Health, v53 n10 p605-09 Dec 1983

Researchers studied how teachers' judgments about recognizing and reporting child abuse were affected by information about parents' socioeconomic status, ethnic status, and the child's level of injury. Teachers were less swayed by parent status than were physicians. (Author/PP)
