Child abuse prevalence in Russian urban population: a preliminary report.
Self-reported data from 375 early and mid-adolescent school children in a Siberian city estimated a prevalence of child abuse at 28.9%. Of these children, 3.8% suffered injuries that required medical attention. This prevalence of child abuse indicates the need for additional research and development of a system to identify and manage child abuse in Russia.
