A insuficiência de concordância entre os especialistas ocasionou na exclusão dele, em uma terceira rodada. Conclusão: O instrumento apresentou índice de validade de conteúdo satisfatório e pode ser utilizado para identificar os sinais de suspeita de violência e auxiliar os profissionais de saúde na assistência à criança.
