Through a multistage stratified sampling technique, a sample (n\u2009=\u200916\u2009939) of adolescents (15\u201019\u2009years) were identified and invited to participate. The ISPCAN Child Abuse Screening Tool\u2009\u2010\u2009Child was used for data collection. The previous year's occurrence of violence exposure, psychological, physical and sexual abuse, and neglect were assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nearly 90% of the adolescents were between 16 and 18 years of age, and over 80% were cared for by both of their biological parents. Annual prevalence of various forms of abuse in the year before the 2012 assessment ranged between 0.10 and 0.65, with the lowest rate for sexual abuse and the highest for psychological abuse. Significantly, greater rates of all forms of abuse\/exposure were found when participants lived with their mother or father only (versus with both), and even greater rates for all when they lived with their biological parent and a step\u2010parent. Rates for violence exposure, psychological abuse and neglect were significantly greater for girls, and rate of sexual abuse was greater for boys.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>More attention should be given to the effect of adolescent maltreatment particularly among girls. In addition, sexual abuse prevention programme should be targeted among boys.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.12325","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,16]],"date-time":"2016-02-16T08:11:39Z","timestamp":1455610299000},"page":"565-571","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":53,"title":["Determining prevalence of maltreatment among children in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"M.
