abstract="There currently is not a well-established, psychometrically sound measure for assessing healthcare provider concerns about and attitudes toward reporting maltreatment. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Healthcare Provider Attitudes Toward Child Maltreatment Reporting Scale. The factor structure and reliability of the scale were analyzed. Two subscales, Reporting Responsibilities, and Concerns about Reporting were identified. The total scale and the subscales were shown to have good internal consistency. Potential uses for the scale in evaluating and improving mandated reporting by healthcare providers are proposed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
