Abstract

A great deal has been learned about child maltreatment over the past 50 years. The problem is perceived as more complex in terms of how best to design and implement strategies to address it and how to tailor those strategies across different populations and contexts. This chapter builds upon the Doris Duke fellows’ work and describes emergent themes related to the nature of the problem (engaging multiple disciplines, broadening the concept of maltreatment, focusing on risk and protective factors), the nature of the response (integrating the response across the lifespan, embracing methodological pluralism, promoting data use and data sharing), building a unified response to child maltreatment (integrating neurobiological, implementation, and contextually sensitive research approaches), and building and sustaining new leadership for the field (nurturing transdisciplinary practice, introducing scholars to the policy world, enriching the pipeline of qualified scholars). The chapter concludes by articulating operational pillars that will undergird the fellows’ future work.
