Abstract

This study was undertaken in answer to the need for a national database or a uniform data-intake protocol. It aimed to establish a baseline study that examines the population of identified cases of physical abuse in children aged 6 years and below in terms of developmental profiles, birth/maternal history, medical history and family demographics and dynamics.
