Article Synopsis
- A new study aims to determine how common child abuse is in sports across six European countries, focusing specifically on various types of interpersonal violence against children involved in organized sports.
- Researchers surveyed over 10,000 young adults aged 18-30 who played sports before age 18, utilizing a questionnaire (IVACS-Q) to measure experiences of neglect, psychological violence, physical violence, and sexual violence.
- Findings revealed high prevalence rates of violence in sports, with psychological violence being the most common (65%) and notable differences in reported experiences between males and females; this underscores the need for better prevention strategies in the sports sector.
Background: The research explored the association between infants' height and various demographic factors in Romania, a country where such critical information has been lacking.
Methods: This study was conducted on a nationally representative sample and used a family physicians database to determine a sample of 1532 children (713 girls and 819 boys) 6-23 months of age (M = 14.26; SD = 5.

Background: Anaemia is a public health problem that can lead to a variety of detrimental effects on physical and neurodevelopment in young children. The present study explored the epidemiology of anaemia among infants in Romania, identified risk factors and created a model for predicting it.
Methods: Data from 1532 infants aged 6-24 months were selected from a larger nationally representative cross-sectional survey.
Characteristics and prenatal care utilisation of Romanian pregnant women.

Objective: To describe the degree to which Romanian women access free prenatal care services, and to describe the demographic profile of women who are at risk for underutilisation.
Methods: Secondary data (n = 914) were taken from a large, nationally representative sample of Romanian mothers and children (N = 2117). Kotelchuck's Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilisation Index was used to measure the adequacy of prenatal care.
The objective of this study was to determine whether children's characteristics and/or institutional characteristics were predictors of severe punishments (including beatings) and/or frequency of punishments that children received from staff in Romanian institutions. The data was hierarchical with institutionalized children (N=1391) nested within 44 institutions, and the measurement of punishments by the staff and frequency of punishments had a binary distribution. Thus, multilevel logistic regression models were used to examine the effects of individual and institutional level variables on reported punishments and to account for the clustering of the children within institutions.
