TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Preventing Child Abuse and Neglect: What Pediatricians Can Do A1 - Lane, Wendy Gwirtzman A1 - Dubowitz, Howard A2 - Kline, Mark W. PY - 2018 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 23e AB - Preventing child abuse and neglect (ie, maltreatment) fits well with the goals and scope of pediatrics, as expressed by the commitment of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to “prevention, early detection, and management of behavioral, developmental, and social problems as a focus in pediatric practice.” The prevention of child maltreatment has benefits at the level of the individual child, the family, the community, and society at large. Sparing a child from the physical, cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and social problems associated with maltreatment is intuitively and morally preferable to intervening after the fact.
