Fiche synthèse
1. Objectifs
Intentions :
«The current study is part of a larger initiative using an international platform to examine CM [child maltreatment] reports and CPS [child protection service] responses in various countries around the globe. […] The current study presents the second wave of data collection, conducted in February 2021, across 12 regions worldwide, one year into the pandemic.» (p. 3)
2. Méthode
Échantillon/Matériau :
For this study, «[e]pidemiological and child welfare researchers from Australia (New South Wales), Brazil, United States (California, Pennsylvania), Colombia, Germany, Israel, Japan, Canada (Ontario, Quebec), and South Africa provided data from their own jurisdictions. […] To collect the data, each participant completed a template developed collaboratively by the collective that assessed demographics, description of the COVID-19 response, the impact of COVID-19 on CPS, and government initiatives to address child protection. […] Data were collected from the beginning of the pandemic (March–June 2020) until the end of 2020, or as close to this date as data were available.» (p. 3)

3. Résumé
The «findings indicated that the economic and social impacts resulting from the pandemic posed significant risks for higher parental stress and children’s increased vulnerability (Katz et al., 2020). Similarly, the social impacts of the pandemic and the policy responses created a range of risk factors for children and families, particularly in developing countries.» (p. 13) Some results of this internation study are specifically about Québec. For example, «Quebec and Pennsylvania […] saw significant declines in reports over the year, coinciding with school and childcare closures and community-level stay-at-home or lockdown orders, while having lower rates of COVID-19 infections compared to the Latin countries.» (p. 13) «Overall, examination of the 12 regions indicated that there is still some lag in the availability of data and, in many regions, data are still incomplete. This highlights the importance for policymakers and service directors to collect accurate and complete data.» (p. 14)
