Description
David Brown and Robert Anda tackle a gap in a big United States child health survey in this 2026 paper. The survey tracks hardship at home but does not ask directly about emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. That leaves out core harms from the classic study of adverse childhood events.
The pair borrow rates from two other surveys, one of adults and one of teens, and bridge them onto the child survey. They apply the models to pooled 2023 and 2024 data covering over one hundred thousand children. The result is a fuller picture of abuse that the main survey never asked about.
