Most researchers agree that maltreatment data can be collected from children, adolescents and parents with approaches that are accurate, methodologically robust, legal and ethical [27]. However, research regarding child maltreatment has a fairly short history, with evidence-based methodology going back only as far as the 1970s, and epidemiological studies of children’s experiences started as late as the 1990s. Since then many well-validated instruments about children’s behaviour have become available, and after the WHO-report on child maltreatment in 2006, The International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect has developed epidemiological survey tools for parents and children, with support from UNICEF, that can be used worldwide. As mentioned above, WHO Europe has also in the autumn of 2016, published a handbook for measuring and monitoring national prevalence of child maltreatment.
