Aim

This paper investigated 3 social conditions of adolescent health: migration status, socioeconomic position, and bullying behaviours. The aim of this study was to investigate newcomer adolescents to Canada's experience of bullying behaviours, socioeconomic position, and self-rated health, and associations between these factors, compared with non-newcomers.

Methods

This study represents results from a proportional sample of 21,750 adolescents in Canada recruited through the HBSC-Canada study 2017/2018 cycle. The associations between self-rated health and household socio-economic position (SEP), migration status, the four bullying behaviours were assessed via logistic regression analysis that took into consideration ethnicity, gender, grade-level, variations in sampling by using survey weights, and the nested nature of the data.

Results

Newcomers, low SEP adolescents, and those involved in bullying behaviours all reported poorer self-rated health than their counterparts. At first, there were no statistical differences in bullying behaviours across newcomer and non-newcomer youth. However, further sub-group investigation showed that when SEP is considered in this association, there are statistical differences. Bullying behaviours differed among newcomer adolescents based on household SEP. Newcomer youth who are affluent, were more likely to be victims of in-school victimization, of cyber victimization, and involved with perpetrating cyber bullying compared with non-newcomer youth living in deprivation.

Conclusions

Migration, as a social condition and associate of health, when viewed at different levels of SEP is seen to be associated with bullying behaviours among adolescents in Canada, specifically cyberbullying behaviours of victimizing and perpetrating among high-SEP newcomer adolescents in Canada. Those living in deprivation are usually associated with poorer social and health outcomes relative to those living in affluence. This study's findings support intersectional approaches and analyses where intersections of adolescents' traits show unique associations with social and health outcomes.

目的调查青少年健康的3个社会条件：移民状况、社会经济地位和欺凌行为。本研究的目的是调查新来加拿大的青少年的欺凌行为的经验，社会经济地位和自评健康，以及这些因素之间的联系，与非新来的人相比。本研究代表了通过HBSC-Canada研究2017/2018周期招募的21,750名加拿大青少年的比例样本的结果。通过逻辑回归分析评估自评健康与家庭社会经济地位（SEP）、移民状况、四种欺凌行为之间的关联，该分析考虑了种族、性别、年级水平、使用调查权重的抽样变化以及数据的嵌套性质。结果新来者、低SEP青少年和有欺凌行为的青少年的自评健康状况均较同龄人差。起初，新移民和非新移民青少年的欺凌行为没有统计学差异。然而，进一步的亚组调查显示，当考虑SEP在这种关联时，存在统计学差异。新移民青少年的欺凌行为在家庭SEP上存在差异。与生活贫困的非新移民青少年相比，富裕的新移民青少年更有可能成为校园欺凌、网络欺凌的受害者，并参与实施网络欺凌。结论移民作为一种社会条件和健康相关因素，在不同SEP水平下被认为与加拿大青少年的欺凌行为有关，特别是加拿大高SEP新移民青少年的受害和实施网络欺凌行为。与生活富裕的人相比，生活贫困的人通常与较差的社会和健康结果有关。这项研究的发现支持交叉方法和分析，其中青少年特征的交叉点显示出与社会和健康结果的独特关联。

To protect children against violence, we need robust data from every child population. In spite of this, not all child populations are well represented in research. This hampers the usability of results to those left out, and necessitate a discussion of potential solutions. Data collection efforts are hampered by a lack of validated instruments for a number of populations, including but not limited to young children, children with disabilities, and children on the move, including refugees and immigrants. This results in the exclusion from research of many children who are disproportionately affected by violence, but unable to exercise their right to be heard on this matter. In this discussion article, we draw on the co-authors’ research experience and relevant literature to present issues specific to measurement of violence, and recommendations on how to get precise estimates in these underrepresented groups. These include puppet-based interviews for young children, alternative response formats such as validated sign language instruments for children with disabilities, and a range of violence measures which reflect the diverse violence experienced by children on the move. However, the literature also reveals an overall lack of validation and participatory approaches, affecting both research measuring violence against children, and development of instruments for this purpose. This article outlines recommendations and examples of best practice for including these children in research, and for the development and validation of instruments suitable for capturing their self-report of violence. It is our hope that this discussion article, and the potential solutions presented, can inspire further studies on violence on how to include all child populations in research.

为了保护儿童免受暴力侵害，我们需要来自每个儿童群体的可靠数据。尽管如此，并不是所有的儿童群体在研究中都得到了很好的代表。这阻碍了结果对那些被遗漏的人的可用性，并且需要讨论潜在的解决方案。由于缺乏针对一些人群的有效工具，包括但不限于幼儿、残疾儿童和流动儿童，包括难民和移民，数据收集工作受到阻碍。这导致许多儿童被排除在研究之外，这些儿童不成比例地受到暴力的影响，但却无法行使在这个问题上发表意见的权利。在这篇讨论文章中，我们借鉴了共同作者的研究经验和相关文献，提出了测量暴力的具体问题，并就如何在这些代表性不足的群体中获得精确的估计提出了建议。这些措施包括对幼儿进行基于木偶的访谈，为残疾儿童提供经过验证的手语工具等替代回应形式，以及一系列反映流动儿童所遭受的各种暴力的暴力措施。然而，文献也表明，总体上缺乏验证和参与性方法，这既影响了衡量暴力侵害儿童行为的研究，也影响了为此目的开发工具。本文概述了将这些儿童纳入研究的建议和最佳做法示例，以及开发和验证适合捕获其自我暴力报告的工具。我们希望这篇讨论文章以及提出的可能的解决办法能够激发关于如何将所有儿童纳入研究的暴力问题的进一步研究。

Background

Child psychological maltreatment can be defined as intentional or unintentional harm to a child's psychological well-being and neglect of the child's emotional life and of care and attention to the child. It is the most common form of maltreatment, but it remains difficult to identify, address, and intervene against.

Objective

This study aims to describe the ways in which 6–17-year-old children disclose psychological maltreatment and the factors that either promote or prevent disclosure.

Participants and setting

This review included a total of 27,875 participants, mostly from the USA.

Methods

The literature search was conducted in June 2024 using the databases, CINAHL, Medline, Social Science Premium Collection, PsycINFO, and Science Direct. Studies selected according to the inclusion criteria were analyzed using inductive content analysis.

Findings

An analysis of 17 studies identified that in many cases, reporting of psychological maltreatment was planned and intentional, but that children also disclosed maltreatment unintentionally, for example, through risky behavior. Gender, age, emotional attachment to the perpetrator, and the child's emotional skills all related to the reporting of psychological maltreatment. The likelihood of reporting psychological maltreatment increased if the child self-identified the maltreatment and was supported in receiving help. With the appropriate response and strong social skills, the professional or supporter was able to facilitate the child's reporting of psychological maltreatment.

Conclusions

Children's emotional skills and ability to self-identify the maltreatment, as well as professionals' ability to respond to help-seeking and their social skills should be strengthened to facilitate disclosure of psychological maltreatment.

儿童心理虐待可以被定义为有意或无意地伤害儿童的心理健康，忽视儿童的情感生活以及对儿童的照顾和关注。这是最常见的虐待形式，但仍然难以识别、处理和干预。目的探讨6 - 17岁儿童心理虐待的披露方式及促进或阻止披露的因素。参与者和环境本综述共纳入27,875名参与者，主要来自美国。方法于2024年6月，通过CINAHL、Medline、Social Science Premium Collection、PsycINFO、Science Direct等数据库进行文献检索。根据纳入标准选取的研究采用归纳内容分析法进行分析。一项对17项研究的分析表明，在许多情况下，报告心理虐待是有计划和有意的，但儿童也会在无意中暴露虐待，例如，通过冒险行为。性别、年龄、对施暴者的情感依恋以及儿童的情感技能都与心理虐待的报告有关。如果儿童自我识别虐待并在接受帮助方面得到支持，报告心理虐待的可能性就会增加。通过适当的回应和强大的社交技巧，专业人员或支持者能够促进儿童报告心理虐待。结论应加强儿童的情感技能和自我识别虐待的能力，以及专业人员的求助反应能力和社交技能，促进心理虐待的披露。

Many people working with children and families do not have specialist training in evidence-based interventions. A modular intervention approach, utilizing common elements of effective types of interventions, enables frontline practitioners, including those not holding a relevant professional qualification, to be trained to deliver evidence-based interventions in children's services. This study evaluates a training and coaching programme to improve Family Support Workers' (FSWs) knowledge, skills and confidence in using evidence-based modular intervention approaches working with eleven FSWs from a team in a London children's services department serving a culturally diverse community.

The programme evaluation used the Self-Efficacy Scale for Social Workers, a Confidence Scale and three qualitative questionnaires. The findings demonstrated this experienced group of FSWs reported increases in their confidence in the areas of their training. Statistically significant improvements in FSW's self-efficacy reflected their judgements about their improved capacity to effect change and achieve successful outcomes for children and families when using the range of modular resources. FSWs were continuing to use these approaches at five-year follow-up. During this period their supervisor trained new members of staff to use these resources. Government inspections noted the positive impact of the use of the intervention resources on outcomes for children and families. The programme, combining training, practice and coaching sessions, enabled FSWs to use modular evidenced-based tools and approaches to respond to the needs of children and families from a range of cultures resulting in improved outcomes. Supervisor involvement throughout the programme supported the continued use of the evidence-based interventions.

许多从事儿童和家庭工作的人没有接受过循证干预措施方面的专业培训。采用模块化干预方法，利用有效干预类型的共同要素，使一线从业人员，包括不持有相关专业资格的从业人员，能够接受培训，在儿童服务中提供基于证据的干预措施。本研究评估了一项培训和指导计划，以提高家庭支持工作者（FSWs）的知识、技能和信心，利用基于证据的模块化干预方法，与来自伦敦儿童服务部门的一个团队的11名家庭支持工作者一起为一个文化多元化的社区服务。项目评估采用社会工作者自我效能量表、信心量表和三份定性问卷。调查结果显示，这组经验丰富的fswws报告说，他们对培训领域的信心有所增加。统计上，FSW自我效能的显著改善反映了他们在使用模块化资源时对自己影响改变和为儿童和家庭取得成功结果的能力提高的判断。在五年的随访中，渔业福利机构继续使用这些方法。在此期间，他们的主管培训新员工如何使用这些资源。政府检查注意到，使用干预资源对儿童和家庭的成果产生了积极影响。该计划结合了培训、实践和辅导课程，使家庭福利工作者能够使用模块化的循证工具和方法来应对来自不同文化背景的儿童和家庭的需求，从而改善结果。督导人员在整个项目中的参与支持了循证干预措施的持续使用。

Background

Child maltreatment (CM) is a major public health issue. Despite the key role of health professionals in detecting CM, it is significantly underreported in German hospitals. To address existing knowledge gaps in CM identification and coding, a comprehensive e-learning course with focus on CM identification and ICD-10 coding was developed.

Objective

This study provides an overview of the e-learning course and evaluates its effectiveness, namely how course participation changes knowledge, competencies and awareness of health professionals regarding handling cases of CM and coding CM. Satisfaction with the course is also evaluated.

Participants and setting

The sample includes 204 health professionals working in the medical field, the majority of whom are (pediatric) physicians. Of the participants, 173 identified as female, 30 as male, and one as diverse. Age of the participants ranges from 25 to 66.

Methods

Participants completed online questionnaires before and after attending the course. Descriptive analyses and paired t-tests were used to assess satisfaction and changes in knowledge, awareness, and competencies.

Results

Participants showed increased knowledge and competencies after the course, especially for coding CM. Satisfaction with the course was high and its content was deemed applicable to daily practice. In a framework of generally low attention to CM and its coding in the health sector, the course enhanced participants' understanding of the relevance of improved documentation.

Conclusion

E-Learning courses can enhance knowledge, competencies and awareness of CM and its coding, which is crucial for improving documentation and data collection on CM. Therefore, training opportunities should be expanded.

儿童虐待（CM）是一个重大的公共卫生问题。尽管卫生专业人员在检测CM方面发挥了关键作用，但在德国医院中，CM的发病率明显偏低。为了解决CM识别和编码方面的现有知识空白，开发了一个以CM识别和ICD-10编码为重点的综合电子学习课程。目的对电子学习课程进行概述，并评估其有效性，即课程参与如何改变卫生专业人员对CM病例处理和编码CM的知识、能力和意识。对课程的满意度也进行了评估。样本包括204名在医疗领域工作的卫生专业人员，其中大多数是（儿科）医生。在参与者中，173人是女性，30人是男性，1人是混血儿。参与者的年龄从25岁到66岁不等。方法参与者在课程前后分别完成在线问卷调查。描述性分析和配对t检验用于评估满意度和知识、意识和能力的变化。结果课程结束后，学员的知识和能力都有所提高，尤其是在编码CM方面。学员对课程的满意度较高，认为课程内容适用于日常实践。在卫生部门普遍不重视行政管理及其编码的框架下，该课程增强了与会者对改进文件编制的相关性的理解。结论e - learning课程可以提高对CM及其编码的认识、能力和意识，对改进CM的文献和数据收集具有重要意义。因此，应扩大培训机会。

Reporting or Refraining? Examining school social workers’ use of discretion and decision making in child maltreatment reporting tendencies 报告还是克制？考察学校社工在儿童虐待报告倾向中使用自由裁量权和决策

Child Protection and Practice

This study examined discretion by school social workers in recognizing physical and educational neglect and the likelihood of reporting this form of child maltreatment. Using two case vignettes-each depicting situations that meet criteria for mandated reporting of physical and educational neglect-this research examines how school social workers (N = 548) assess suspicion and likelihood of reporting to child welfare as a mandated report. Participants rated their level of suspicion after reading each vignette and indicated their likelihood of filing a child welfare report. Additionally, they provided information regarding their compliance and training in mandated reporting. Binary logistic regression and independent t-tests were used to analyze the relationship between training compliance, suspicion levels, and likelihood of reporting physical and educational neglect. Findings reveal significant discrepancies between recognition of maltreatment and follow-through with reporting, suggesting that discretion plays a considerable role in reporting behavior. These results underscore the need to critically examine current training practices and explore barriers that may contribute to inconsistent reporting. The implications of these findings result in a need for review and revision to policies and training to address and eliminate opportunities for bias and discretion in reporting behavior.

本研究考察了学校社会工作者在识别身体和教育忽视以及报告这种形式的儿童虐待的可能性方面的自由裁量权。本研究使用两个案例——每个案例都描述了符合强制报告身体和教育忽视标准的情况——研究了学校社会工作者（N = 548）如何评估怀疑和向儿童福利机构报告作为强制报告的可能性。参与者在阅读完每个小插图后对他们的怀疑程度进行评级，并指出他们提交儿童福利报告的可能性。此外，它们还提供了关于遵守规定和接受规定报告培训的资料。采用二元逻辑回归和独立t检验分析训练依从性、怀疑程度和报告身体和教育忽视的可能性之间的关系。调查结果显示，在虐待行为的识别和报告的跟进之间存在显著差异，这表明酌情决定在报告行为中起着相当大的作用。这些结果强调需要严格审查当前的培训实践，并探索可能导致报告不一致的障碍。这些发现的影响导致需要审查和修订政策和培训，以解决和消除报告行为中的偏见和自由裁量权的机会。

Tokens or competent agents? Constructing generational orders in Finnish law-making practice 代币还是代理？芬兰立法实践中的代际秩序建构

Child Protection and Practice

Pub Date : 2025-09-02 DOI: 10.1016/j.chipro.2025.100229

Background

Children, particularly those involved in child protection measures, are often excluded from the legislative processes that directly affect them.

Objective

The study investigates the types of generational orders constructed during law-making and examines the discourses and subject positions that emerge within this context.

Participants and setting

The data consist of 11 expert interviews, involving 22 experts from diverse backgrounds, including representatives from child protection systems, non-governmental organisations, and various governmental agencies.

Methods

The interviews were analysed using critical discourse analysis, focusing on the generational orders, discourses, modalities, and subject positions that are constructed during the law drafting process.

Results

The analysis identified two dominant discourses regarding children's participation in law-making. The first discourse highlights the exclusion of children and the adult-driven nature of these processes, where children are often treated as mere representatives or tokens. The second discourse emphasises the responsibility of adults to create a secure environment that enables children to participate more fully in the future, recognising them as individuals and citizens.

Conclusions

Professionals working with children in child protection should seek to understand their clients as individuals and provide tailored support to ensure that each child's unique abilities are recognised and utilised. Efforts should also be made to enhance both civic and political engagement among these children and young people. Further research is needed to develop practices that support children in child protection as competent agents and active citizens.

儿童，特别是那些参与儿童保护措施的儿童，往往被排除在直接影响他们的立法程序之外。目的研究立法过程中构建的代际秩序类型，并考察在此背景下出现的话语和主体立场。数据包括11次专家访谈，涉及22名来自不同背景的专家，包括来自儿童保护系统、非政府组织和各种政府机构的代表。方法采用批判性话语分析对访谈进行分析，重点关注法律起草过程中构建的代际顺序、话语、方式和主体立场。结果分析确定了两种关于儿童参与立法的主流话语。第一个论述强调了将儿童排除在外以及这些进程的成人驱动性质，在这些进程中，儿童往往被视为仅仅是代表或象征。第二种论述强调成年人有责任创造一个安全的环境，使儿童能够更充分地参与未来，承认他们是个人和公民。结论：从事儿童保护工作的专业人员应该努力理解他们的客户作为个体，并提供量身定制的支持，以确保每个孩子的独特能力得到认可和利用。还应努力加强这些儿童和青年的公民和政治参与。需要进行进一步的研究，以制定支持儿童作为称职的代理人和积极公民保护儿童的做法。

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child gives children a fundamental right to participate in all decisions that affect them. ‘Participation’ is now a common ‘good practice’ principle when supporting, and working with, children and young people. However, practitioners are often unsure of how to facilitate the safe and meaningful collective participation of children and young people with lived experience of sexual abuse and exploitation (bringing them together in groups to inform and influence decision-making or actions that affect them as a specific group). Research indicates that there are myriad potential benefits when young people engage in safe and meaningful participatory processes. This Practice Perspective shares details of a participatory project we initiated with young people who had lived experience of child sexual abuse and exploitation and who had previously engaged in participatory initiatives. It shares their perspectives on the potential benefits of participatory practice for young people and the wider community. 19 young people, aged 17–25, in Kenya and Uganda took part in a series of workshops culminating in the development of a podcast to share their views on the topic.

《联合国儿童权利公约》赋予儿童参与影响他们的所有决定的基本权利。“参与”现在是支持和帮助儿童和青年时的一个普遍的“良好做法”原则。然而，从业人员往往不确定如何促进有过性虐待和性剥削生活经历的儿童和青年安全而有意义的集体参与（将他们以小组形式聚集在一起，为影响他们的特定群体的决策或行动提供信息和影响）。研究表明，当年轻人参与安全和有意义的参与过程时，会有无数潜在的好处。本实践展望分享了我们发起的一个参与性项目的细节，该项目的参与者是有过儿童性虐待和性剥削经历的年轻人，他们以前曾参与过参与性倡议。它分享了他们对参与式实践对年轻人和更广泛社区的潜在好处的看法。来自肯尼亚和乌干达的19名年龄在17-25岁之间的年轻人参加了一系列研讨会，最后制作了一个播客，分享他们对这个话题的看法。

There is increasing effort in the humanitarian sector to improve accountability to affected populations and promote meaningful participation of children in humanitarian action. However, effective systems for accountability to children, both in the protection and non-protection sectors, remain minimal. This review aims to identify definitions, gaps, barriers and enablers of accountability to children and present examples of existing systems and best practices to support the development of child-centred accountability approaches in the humanitarian sector. A rapid appraisal approach was adopted. Searches were conducted across a variety of practice focused databases using search terms such as “participation”, “accountability”, “children”, and “humanitarian” looking for publications from 2004 until 2024. The review identified a total of 64 publications, 25 of which met the inclusion criteria. This review demonstrates that humanitarian actors have produced a wealth of guidance and toolkits to inform the creation of systems of accountability to children. Conceptually the sector shares clear and consistent definitions of accountability to children; however, practical resources often remain too general and theoretical to guide real life implementation. Existing resources rarely provide specific examples or instructions on how to operationalise accountability across sectors and include only limited considerations on the factors required to ensure adequate inclusion of children from marginalized groups. Systematically documenting case studies, success stories, and the experiences of both humanitarian actors and affected populations of how accountability to children is realised in the context of different types of humanitarian crises is warranted.

人道主义部门正在加大努力，改善对受影响人口的责任，促进儿童有意义地参与人道主义行动。然而，在保护和非保护部门，对儿童负责的有效制度仍然很少。本次审查的目的是确定对儿童问责制的定义、差距、障碍和推动因素，并提出现有系统和最佳做法的例子，以支持在人道主义部门制定以儿童为中心的问责制方法。采取了快速评价办法。通过使用“参与”、“问责制”、“儿童”和“人道主义”等搜索词在各种以实践为重点的数据库中进行搜索，寻找2004年至2024年的出版物。审查共确定64份出版物，其中25份符合纳入标准。这项审查表明，人道主义行为体已经编制了大量的指导和工具包，为建立对儿童负责的制度提供了信息。在概念上，该部门分享对儿童责任的明确和一致的定义；然而，实用资源往往过于笼统和理论化，无法指导现实生活中的实施。现有资源很少提供关于如何跨部门实施问责制的具体例子或指示，并且仅对确保充分纳入边缘化群体儿童所需的因素进行了有限的考虑。有必要系统地记录案例研究、成功案例以及人道主义行为体和受影响人群在不同类型人道主义危机背景下如何实现对儿童问责的经验。

Youth aging out of care and contact with the criminal justice system: the role of educational transitions in early adulthood 失去照顾和接触刑事司法系统的青年：成年早期教育转变的作用

Background

The process of transitioning of placement is marked by difficult transitions and is complicated by a history of placement experiences. Studies show that most young people who age out of placement care are enrolled in school just before they leave, but this proportion drops drastically soon after they leave care. This transition has the potential to increase the risk of being involved in the justice system. Conversely, staying in school after placement has the potential to prevent contact with the justice system.

Objective

To examine whether educational transitions during the process of leaving placement care in early adulthood influence the risk of justice system involvement. More precisely, the study focuses on whether leaving school increases this risk among youth aging out of care. It also uses moderation analyses to assess whether this association varies based on placement experiences, such as placement instability and group placement.

Participants and settings

We used a subsample of the EDJeP study from Québec, Canada, consisting of youths who participated in the third wave and who were in school before leaving placement (n = 413). Administrative data from youth protection services and data from the three waves of questionnaires were analyzed.

Methods

We used maximum likelihood logistic regression models to predict justice system involvement during early adulthood as a function of leaving school. Interaction terms were used to determine whether moderation effects were present.

Results

The results show that young people who leave school when they age out of placement are at greater risk of being involved in the justice system during early adulthood (OR = 4.55, p < 0.001). Conversely, young people who stayed in school after aging out of care were less likely to be involved in the justice system during early adulthood. However, there were no significant moderation effects (p > 0.05) with the placement experiences.

背景安置的过渡过程是一个艰难的过渡过程，并因安置经历的历史而变得复杂。研究表明，大多数因年龄增长而离开安置护理中心的年轻人在离开之前都会入学，但这一比例在离开护理中心后不久就急剧下降。这种转变有可能增加被卷入司法系统的风险。相反，安置后留在学校有可能阻止与司法系统接触。目的探讨成年早期离开安置护理过程中的教育转变是否影响司法系统介入的风险。更准确地说，这项研究关注的是离开学校是否会增加失去照顾的年轻人的这种风险。它还使用适度分析来评估这种关联是否根据安置经历而变化，例如安置不稳定性和群体安置。参与者和环境我们使用了来自加拿大quamesbec的EDJeP研究的子样本，包括参加第三次浪潮和离开安置前在学校的年轻人（n = 413）。分析来自青少年保护服务的行政数据和来自三波问卷调查的数据。方法我们使用最大似然逻辑回归模型来预测成年早期司法系统参与作为离开学校的函数。相互作用项用于确定是否存在适度效应。结果研究结果表明，年龄过大而辍学的年轻人在成年早期被卷入司法系统的风险更大（OR = 4.55, p < 0.001）。相反，那些在失去照顾后继续上学的年轻人在成年早期参与司法系统的可能性较小。然而，安置经历没有显著的调节作用（p > 0.05）。
