Sequelae of child maltreatment: Umbrella synthesis of 148 meta‐analyses on the mental health correlates

JCPP Advances, EarlyView.
Our umbrella synthesis found strong, often equivalent, associations between child maltreatment and all examined mental health difficulties. Different types of maltreatment appear to have comparably negative effects on mental health. If replicated, these findings may cause us to reconsider conventional wisdom that suggests some forms of CM are less ...
