Summary, etc Background: Child abuse and neglect are significant social and health issues in New Zealand. As the government<br/>provides free oral care to children and adolescents, oral health practitioners are positioned to respond to child protec‑<br/>tion concerns. However, research on the knowledge and attitudes of oral health practitioners is limited. This study<br/>aimed to understand the knowledge and attitudes of New Zealand dental and oral health therapists in detecting and<br/>reporting child abuse and neglect.<br/>Methods: In this descriptive exploratory cross‑sectional study, we invited registered New Zealand dental and oral<br/>health therapists treating children and adolescents to the anonymous online survey.<br/>Results: Among the 92 dental and oral health therapists, 72% agreed that they could recognise the signs and symp‑<br/>toms of child abuse and neglect. Yet, only 48% agreed they were familiar with the reporting process. During their<br/>professional careers, 62% had at least 1 suspected case; and only 21% had ever reported their concerns. Fear of false<br/>reporting (70%) was the most significant barrier.<br/>Conclusions: Participants understood child abuse and neglect as significant social issues; however, the knowledge<br/>and attitudes to respond were limited. Efforts to enhance the knowledge and attitudes will be necessary to promote<br/>child safety and wellbeing. (Authors' abstract). Record #8135
