Warner-Rogers, Jody E.; And Others

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v20 n9 p851-66 Sep 1996

This study, with 60 medical students and 15 pediatricians, found that a delay in seeking medical attention and an explanation for the presenting injuries that was discrepant from the physical findings impacted the identification and reporting of child abuse. Positive correlations were found between identification and reporting of abuse. (CR)
