We used National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System and Census data to examine Black-White and Hispanic-White disparities in reporting, substantiation, and out-of-home placement both descriptively from 2005-2019 and in multivariate models from 2007-2017. We also tracked contemporaneous social risk (e.g., child poverty) and child harm (e.g., infant mortality) disparities using non-child protective services (CPS) sources and compared them to CPS reporting rate disparities. Black-White CPS reporting disparities were lower than found in non-CPS risk and harm benchmarks. Consistent with the Hispanic paradox, Hispanic-White CPS reporting disparities were lower than risk disparities but similar to harm disparities. Descriptive and multivariate analyses of data from the past several years indicated that Black children were less likely to be substantiated or placed into out-of-home care following a report than White children. Hispanic children were slightly more likely to be substantiated or placed in out-of-home care than White children overall, but this difference disappeared in multivariate models. Available data provide no evidence that Black children were overreported relative to observed risks and harms reflected in non-CPS data. Reducing reporting rates among Black children will require addressing broader conditions associated with maltreatment.

儿童保护服务报告、证实和安置方面的种族/民族差异，与非 CPS 风险和结果的比较：2005-2019 年。

我们使用国家虐待和忽视儿童数据系统和人口普查数据，以 2005 年至 2019 年的描述性和 2007 年至 2017 年的多元模型来研究黑人、白人和西班牙裔白人在报告、证实和户外安置方面的差异。我们还使用非儿童保护服务 (CPS) 来源跟踪同期社会风险（例如儿童贫困）和儿童伤害（例如婴儿死亡率）差异，并将其与 CPS 报告率差异进行比较。黑白 CPS 报告差异低于非 CPS 风险和危害基准。与西班牙裔悖论一致，西班牙裔白人 CPS 报告差异低于风险差异，但与伤害差异相似。对过去几年数据的描述性和多变量分析表明，与白人儿童相比，黑人儿童在报告后被证实或被安置在家庭外护理的可能性较小。总体而言，西班牙裔儿童比白人儿童更有可能得到证实或被安置在户外护理中，但这种差异在多变量模型中消失了。现有数据没有证据表明，相对于非 CPS 数据反映的观察到的风险和伤害，黑人儿童的报告被夸大了。降低黑人儿童的报告率需要解决与虐待相关的更广泛的问题。
