Abstract

Medical child protection comprises different types of involvement of physicians in order to protect children and adolescents from abuse and neglect. This review gives an overview of historical and recent developments in medical child protection.

How far are the principles of evidence-based medicine applicable to the development of guidelines in child protection?
