“…The results indicate that CPA ranked highest of the abuse types, which compares to previous studies (Bellis et al, 2014;Fang et al, 2015;Lau, Liu, Cheung, &Yu, 1999). However, CCSA perhaps needs more attention because more than one in five participants reported having experienced CCSA.…”

Objective To examine the prevalence of multiple types of maltreatment (MTM), potentially confounding factors and associations with depression, anxiety and self-esteem among adolescents in Viet Nam. Methods In 2006 we conducted a cross-sectional survey of 2591 students (aged 12-18 years; 52.1% female) from randomlyselected classes in eight secondary schools in urban (Hanoi) and rural (Hai Duong) areas of northern Viet Nam (response rate, 94.7%). Sequential multiple regression analyses were performed to estimate the relative influence of individual, family and social characteristics and of eight types of maltreatment, including physical, emotional and sexual abuse and physical or emotional neglect, on adolescent mental health. Findings Females reported more neglect and emotional abuse, whereas males reported more physical abuse, but no statistically significant difference was found between genders in the prevalence of sexual abuse. Adolescents were classified as having nil (32.6%), one (25.9%), two (20.7%), three (14.5%) or all four (6.3%) maltreatment types. Linear bivariate associations between MTM and depression, anxiety and low self-esteem were observed. After controlling for demographic and family factors, MTM showed significant independent effects. The proportions of the variance explained by the models ranged from 21% to 28%. Conclusion The combined influence of adverse individual and family background factors and of child maltreatment upon mental health in adolescents in Viet Nam is consistent with research in non-Asian countries. Emotional abuse was strongly associated with each health indicator. In Asian communities where child abuse is often construed as severe physical violence, it is important to emphasize the equally pernicious effects of emotional maltreatment.Une traduction en français de ce résumé figure à la fin de l'article.

“…About 100 children die every year as victims of corporal punishment and many more suffer from disabilities [1]. In terms of health, physical punishment of children predisposes to physical illnesses such as asthma [2,3], cardiovascular disease, obesity, arthritis [4], neoplasia [3], decreased volume of cerebral gray matter [5], and increase in the frequency of hospital stays [2]. In addition, negative experiences in childhood are associated with metabolic diseases in adult age such as obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, high total cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein, high glucosylated hemoglobin, reduction in maximum oxygen consumption levels [6], chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alcohol consumption, and liver diseases in adults [7].…”

Introduction: Corporal punishment is a public health problem due to its impact on the physical, psychological, and social interactions of children.Objectives: To determine the knowledge of pediatricians in Lebanon regarding corporal punishment, their preventive, educational, and legal role.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study conducted on 153 pediatricians in Lebanon, by a questionnaire distributed at the 12th Annual Congress of the Lebanese Pediatric Society and the North Lebanon Pediatric Society.Results: Less than 50% and less then 60% of pediatricians know the effects of physical punishment on the physical and psychic health of the child, respectively. About 74.2% and 23.2% of pediatricians disagree with Article186 of the Lebanese Criminal Code and Lebanese Law422/02 (Article25), respectively. Only 76.2% of Lebanese pediatricians always advise the abandonment of corporal punishment and 4.7% advise its use for discipline.Conclusion: Pediatricians play a fundamental role in the abolition of corporal punishment, but this cannot be accomplished without improving their skills in this area. They are invited to seek legal reforms in Lebanon to abolish the use of corporal punishment as a means of disciplining children.
