Rationale

An example for RefTaq functionality: Pope et al. (2002) ^[1]

Juho Kutvonen and Salla Mönkkönen Hopton and Hunt (1996) ^[2]

Isabell Rumrich and Stefania Caporaso Sidebotham et al. (2002) ^[3]

Precision and Plausability of Hopton and Hunt (1996)

- Reporting bias: Perhaps ít´s difficult to use subjective data due to reporting bias. This is because people may answer in different ways or they don´t answer at all. In addition, people experience household conditions differently.

- Possible confounding variables were controlled.

- Selection bias: The sample is clearly not representative of the general population and therefore the analysis focuses on differences within the sample. Thus it´s worth considering if the results can be generalized to whole population.

Precision and Plausability of Sidebotham et al. (2002)

- maltreatment: registration for physical injury, neglect, sexual abuse, emotional abuse

- social class: no allowance for nonworking mothers, no parental social class allocated for single mothers

- nature of relationship with child maltreatment is complex (confounder, cultural values, etc)

- income is not measured directly, but car ownership as a proxy indicator and receipt of welfare payment

- controlling for social factors

- large amount of prospectively collect data

- participation is lower among the maltreated group

- risk of social bias and no way of measuring the effect of such bias
