Associations between perpetrator characteristics of child maltreatment, age of onset, and physical and mental health

This study provides insights into the risk constellations of CM by examining perpetrator relation, multiplicity, and co-occurrence. We found group differences in onset as well as differential risks for physical and psychiatric multimorbidity by perpetrator relation. These findings highlight the need for future research and prevention strategies that more explicitly address perpetrator characteristics.

Abstract

This study provides insights into the risk constellations of CM by examining perpetrator relation, multiplicity, and co-occurrence. We found group differences in onset as well as differential risks for physical and psychiatric multimorbidity by perpetrator relation. These findings highlight the need for future research and prevention strategies that more explicitly address perpetrator characteristics.
