Though Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing children are at higher risk of being maltreated as compared to hearing children, little research in Saudi Arabia has focused on this population. To determine the prevalence of child maltreatment and to examine its association with depression and anxiety among a sample of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students in Saudi Arabia, recruited from secondary schools in southern Saudi Arabia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The sample included 186 Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students aged 14\u201317\u2009years (\n                      <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200915.7\u2009years; SD\u2009=\u20093.41\u2009years).
