 National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS)
The fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect (the NIS-4) is now underway. The NIS is a congressionally mandated, periodic research effort to assess the incidence of child abuse and neglect in the United States. The NIS gathers information from multiple sources to estimate the number of children who are abused or neglected children, providing information about the nature and severity of the maltreatment, the characteristics of the children, perpetrators, and families, and the extent of changes in the incidence or distribution of child maltreatment since the time of the last national incidence study.
