A comparison between the periods 1967–1974 and 1975–1978. In 1976 a survey was made of all children with a diagnosis of suspected or verified child abuse registered at the Department of Paediatrics in Malmö from 1967 through 1974. Some of the results have been compared with more recent data collected during the years 1975 through 1978. Registered incidents of child abuse were found to have increased markedly during the later period, to a great extent due to the increased number of older children being registered in 1975–1978. A steep increase in cases was observed in 1976 coinciding with intensified efforts to inform and educate personnel responsible for the care or welfare of children. The larger number of incidents registered during the later period is thus considered to most likely have been caused by greater vigilance on the part of personnel responsible for children and not due to an increase in the real incidence of child abuse. A comparison between the two periods regarding the type of injuries recorded shows a five‐fold increase in the yearly rate of less severe lesions, as contrasted with a two‐fold increase in more severe lesions. During both periods, slight injuries represented a major

Abstract.Olegård, R., Sabel, K.‐G., Aronsson, M., Sandin, B., Johansson, P. R. Carlsson, C., Kyllerman, M., Iversen, K. and Hrbek, A. (Departments of Paediatrics, East Hospital, University of Göteborg and Psychiatric Clinic II and Nordhem Alcoholic Clinic, Lillhagen Hospital, Göteborg, Sweden). Effect on the child of alcohol abuse during pregnancy. Retrospective and prospective studies. Retrospective and prospective investigations of children to alcoholic women gave an incidence of fetal alcohol lesion of one per 300 deliveries of whom half had the complete fetal alcohol syndrome. Perinatal and infant mortalities were increased seven to tenfold and low birth weight (<2500 g), preterm deliveries (<37 weeks) and smallness for gestational age (<‐2 S.D.) were increased eightfold, threefold and twelvefold, respectively. Small size at birth correlated with reduced mental performance later in life, 58% had IQ below 85 and 19% below 70. 8% had cerebral palsy. The incidence of cerebral palsy associated with maternal inebriety was 1/5000 deliveries, i.e. every sixth case of cerebral palsy. Tracing of alcoholic women during pregnancy and treatment gave favourable effect on intrauterine growth when sobriety could be induced early in pregnancy but could not protect from functional brain disturbance measured by neurological performance and by evoked response electroencephalography. Damage to the fetus by alcohol is now the largest known health hazard by a noxious agent that is preve

Abstract.Hofvander, Y. and Sjölin, S. (Department of Paediatrics, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden). Breast feeding trends and recent information activities in Sweden. The breast feeding rate has been declining steadily in Sweden since the 1930's up to the early 1970's. It is suggested that this was linked to the changing role of women, the development towards the nuclear family, the changing way of living, the influence of strict routines at the maternities and many other factors. A Committee was appointed in 1973 by the National Board of Health and Welfare, which initiated a number of breast feeding promoting activities: the editing of a Manual for health personnel, and booklets for mothers, the systematic arranging of workshops for key personnel in each county, stimulation to more flexible and breast feeding favouring maternity routines, backing of working groups of La Leche League‐type, etc. Coinciding with these activities and probably a result of changed breast feeding attitudes among mothers, the breast feeding rate has increased considerably—at 2 months from an all time low of 31 % in 1972 to 62% in 1976/77, and at 6 months from 6% to

Abstract.Gustafsson, L. H., Lagerberg, D., Larsson, B. and Sundelin, C. (Department of Paediatrics, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden). Collaboration in practice. Experiences from a multidisciplinary research project on child abuse and neglect. This paper describes experiences from a three‐year research project concerning questions of child abuse and neglect. The emphasis is placed on an attempt to define the real difficulties that have arisen during the course of this work, e.g. group pressure, breaks in continuity, goal heterogeneity, role conflicts and differences in frames of reference. Collaboration problems must be taken seriously and deserve systematic investigation. Multidisciplinary collaboration in different connections within medical, health and social care is of particular importance at this time when the care resources are limited. At the same time it is of decisive importance that the members of the team clarify their attitudes towards certain fundamental question
