Overview
NIH has funded research on the prevalence, causes, course, and immediate and long-term consequences of physical, sexual, and emotional child abuse and neglect—now called child maltreatment—for the past few decades. Results of these efforts indicate that child and adolescent victims of abuse are likely to have a legacy of physical and mental problems well into adulthood.
