Qualitative results: two themes demonstrate the complexity of assessing maltreatment: (1) overlapping maltreatment factors occur in most cases and (2) maltreatment effects may be particularly challenging to isolate<jats:italic>. Conclusions.<\/jats:italic>Qualitative exploration has underscored the complexity of assessing maltreatment, indicating why expected associations were not found in this study and posing questions for the quantitative measurement of maltreatment in general. We therefore suggest a new categorisation of maltreatment and call for the complimentary research lenses of further mixed-methods approaches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2016\/1869673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,11]],"date-time":"2016-08-11T21:02:08Z","timestamp":1470949328000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Does Quantitative Research in Child Maltreatment Tell the Whole Story?
