This study examined data from multiple sources, matching police and child protective service records for families with perinatal health records for newborn babies.
This was a retrospective study, so it was not possible to control the quality and consistency of data collection across health, police and child protective services.
Conclusion: Family involvement with child protective services or police is associated with increased risk of AHT. However, accessing such data at the time of birth would
add little predictive power to a risk model derived from routine health information. (From the article). Reprinted in Patrick Kelly's doctoral lthesis (Chapter 6) in 2020 - follow the link. Record #6185
