We analyzed data from New York City\u2019s Administration for Children\u2019s Services to investigate the frequency of child maltreatment prevention service case openings during this time. Longitudinal counts of case openings were compiled for January through June of the years 2014\u20132020. An independent samples Kruskal\u2013Wallis H-test suggested that pre-quarantine case openings were significantly larger than case openings during quarantine. To account for the possible influence of other historical events impacting data, a secondary Kruskal\u2013Wallis H-test was conducted comparing only the 4\u00a0months of quarantine data available to the 4\u00a0months immediately preceding quarantine orders. The second independent samples Kruskal\u2013Wallis H-test again suggested that pre-quarantine case openings were significantly larger than case openings during quarantine. A Poisson regression model further supported these findings, estimating that the odds of opening a new child maltreatment prevention case during quarantine declined by 49.17%. These findings highlight the severity of COVID-19 impacts on child maltreatment services and the gap between demand for services and service accessibility. We conclude with recommendations for local governments, community members, and practitioners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10775595211051318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T09:27:07Z","timestamp":1639560427000},"page":"34-41","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Child Maltreatment Prevention Service Cases are Significantly Reduced During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Longitudinal Investigation Into Unintended Consequences of Quarantine"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2300-1255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kelly M.","family":"Whaling","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alissa","family":"Der Sarkissian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natalie","family":"Larez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4658-2811","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jill D.","family":"Sharkey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael A.","family":"Allen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Nylund-Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-10775595211051318","unstructured":"Adminsitration for Children Services.
