variations in child emotional ,sexual, and physical abuses

["Hamarman, Stephanie" <hamarmst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Do we know from valid studies if there are cultural, socioeconomic reasons
for variations in child emotional, physical or sexual abuses in the US?Is it
our consensus that child physical and sexual abuses do NOT vary by these
factors? What does our most robust literature indicate?

Thanks in advance
