In the present study, the synthetic cohort life table was structured using age-specific first-time confirmed maltreatment rates to determine the proportion of the cohort that will ever have a confirmed report of maltreatment by age 18 on the basis of first-time confirmation rates at each age between 0 and 18 for each year from 2004 to 2011. (A full life table for the analysis is presented in Table A1 for those interested in more detail.) We used Greenwood’s method34 for estimating standard errors and confidence intervals. Stata/MP 11.2 was used for all analyses.35
