Abstract
This study investigated ethnic differences in behavior problems at age 4 in children with a history of maltreatment from the Longitudinal Studies of Child Maltreatment and Neglect (LONGSCAN) project. Only somatic symptoms varied across ethnicities; White children showed higher levels compared to minority children. Results and implications will be discussed.
