Abstract
There is growing awareness of the public health importance of childhood maltreatment particularly in relation to the study of potential longer-term longitudinal health outcomes. The two main information sources are self-reported events measured retrospectively using structured instruments or prospective reports to statutory child protection agencies. However, there is a poor agreement in terms of the identification of cases between the two sources suggesting they identify different populations. In addition, it is unclear whether there is a difference in outcomes between self- and agency-reported maltreatment. Studies that directly compare the outcomes of retrospectively and prospectively reported data in the same cohort are comparatively rare. This chapter describes work from 30-year longitudinal birth cohort from Brisbane, Australia, that compared the associations of specific types of self- and agency-reported maltreatment with long-term psychological, addiction, health anxiety, and oral and physical health outcomes. Both self- and agency-reported CM showed significant associations with adverse outcomes although this was to varying degrees. In particular, this chapter highlights the harms of psychological maltreatment (emotional abuse and neglect), in addition to physical and sexual abuse.
