摘要

背景虽然现有研究已经报告了 COVID-19 对儿童虐待和忽视（CAN）的影响，但很少关注 COVID-19 案例趋势的空间模式与其对 CAN 案例流行率的影响之间的关系。方法采用空间-时间聚类分析法对 COVID-19 确诊病例的趋势进行分类，并将其归入不同的聚类中。结果随着 COVID-19 确诊病例增长率的加快，身体虐待和忽视的平均病例数也随之增加，但被分配到以中低增幅和极高增幅为特征的群组中的县除外。NBR 发现，在控制 COVID-19 确诊病例的空间-时间集群后，社会脆弱性措施对因身体虐待和忽视而导致的儿童迁移没有影响。我们的研究表明，灾害的集中性对儿童虐待有一定的影响，这建议儿童福利机构特别关注公共卫生危机下确诊病例急剧增加的地区。

The potential influences of COVID-19 and social vulnerability measures on child maltreatment in the United States: Spatial temporal cluster analysis and negative binomial regression

Background

Although existing research has reported the impacts of COVID-19 on child abuse and neglect (CAN), little attention was paid to the relationship between spatial patterns in the trends of COVID-19 cases and their effects on the prevalence of CAN cases.

Objective

This study examined the associations between trends of confirmed cases of COVID-19 and child removal due to physical abuse and neglect at the county level in the U.S while taking the social vulnerability into account.

Participants and setting

This study utilized three secondary data sets nationally collected.

Methods

Spatial-temporal cluster analysis was used to classify and assign trends in confirmed cases of COVID-19 into their distinctive clusters. These spatial-temporal clusters were then used as independent variables in the negative binomial regression (NBR) models.

Results

Average cases of physical abuse and neglect increased as the growth rates of confirmed cases of COVID-19 were accelerated except for the counties assigned to the cluster characterized by moderately low increase and very high increases. NBR found social vulnerability measures have no effects on child removal due to physical abuse and neglect after controlling spatial-temporal clusters of the confirmed cases of COVID-19.

Conclusions

Our study indicates that concentration of disaster has certain effects on child maltreatment. This suggests that child welfare pay special attention to the areas that undergo steep increases in confirmed cases under public health crises.

期刊介绍： Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
