TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - The Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect: a partnership JO - Health promotion and chronic disease prevention in Canada A1 - Tonmyr, L. SP - 117 EP - 118 VL - 35 IS - 8-9 N2 - In the mid-1990s, Health Canada's Family Violence Prevention Unit commissioned a study to assess the possibility of collecting child maltreatment data from child welfare agencies across Canada. A Health Canada group responsible for maternal and child health surveillance built on the results of this study. This group consulted widely with provincial and territorial partners to build a surveillance system, resulting in a truly collaborative effort that led to the implementation of the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect (CIS). This was a remarkable accomplishment considering the challenge of working with multiple partners, different legislative frameworks and the stigma that often accompanies the experience of child maltreatment.
