Note:

 

A study may focus on multiple types of maltreatment, thus totals may reflect double-counts. Prospective and preventive studies cannot indicate types of abuse. The differentiated/undifferentiated categories, however, are only counted once for each study. A few studies did not indicate whether or not subtypes were differentiated.
