“…Web Data questionnaires were used to analyze and assess the reliability and level of agreement with which individuals coded specific categories of child maltreatment. Results showed that coding of information from child welfare files had good potential for adding value to broader surveillance of child maltreatment to support research, policy development and decision-making (( 12 )).…”

Background Aided by a collaborative partnership dating back to 2011, the Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence (CNPHI) and the Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP) quickly undertook substantial enhancements to the CPSP’s data collection instruments on the CNPHI platform to characterize the impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on children and youth in Canada. Faced with an emerging public health threat with impacts yet unknown, the objective of the intervention was to rapidly complete enhancements to existing data collection and analytical tools to enable the CPSP’s ability to characterize the impacts of COVID-19 in Canadian children and youth. Intervention Reporting frequency from CPSP’s network of paediatric practitioners was increased from monthly to weekly, and the flexibility of detailed case data collection was substantially enhanced using complex survey instruments, interactively designed using CNPHI’s Web Data technology. To ensure their data collection proceeded along all required lines of surveillance, CPSP’s data collection tools were enhanced to collect demographic, epidemiological, microbiological and clinical data including comorbidities of cases identified. Outcomes Less than a month after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 pandemic, CPSP was able to start collecting detailed weekly case data on emerging cases of COVID-19 among Canadian children and youth. By May 2020, CPSP was able to launch a detailed study, supporting research into potential risk factors for severe COVID-19-related illness in children and youth. Conclusion In response to a novel public health threat, CNPHI and CPSP were able to implement rapid adaptations and enhancements to existing data collection instruments while fortifying their preparedness to do the same in the future, when needed. With innovative and agile technologies at the ready, this experience helps to emphasize the importance of established collaborative partnerships across public health disciplines as a factor contributing to preparedness and agility to respond to the unforeseen. Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence’s Web Data technology showed agile adaptability and a capacity for complex and detailed data collection, supporting timely surveillance and response.

“…Despite half a century of advocacy, research, and varying degrees of engagement from policy makers around the world, child maltreatment remains widespread (Cyr et al 2013;Finkelhor et al 2015) and calls for the adoption of a public health approach to child maltreatment remain common (Herrenkohl et al 2019;Tonmyr et al 2019;Bross and Krugman 2020;Malvaso et al 2020;Runyan et al 2020). It may be that the discourse of public health has been influential in research and in the language appropriated by policy makers, whereas the practical application of public health principles has been superficial or inadequate.…”
