Perceived social risk in medical decision-making for physical child abuse: a mixed-methods study
2017
Background
The medical literature reports differential decision-making for children with suspected physical abuse based on race and socioeconomic status. Differential evaluation may be related to differences of risk indicators in these populations or differences in physicians’ perceptions of abuse risk. Our objective was to understand the contribution of the child’s social ecology to child abuse pediatricians’ perception of abuse risk and to test whether risk perception influences diagnostic decision-making.
