This study aims to explore the prevalence and incidence of CAN in children who drop out of school of Turkey using the ISPCAN Child abuse Screening Tool Children's Version which is an appropriate tool for multinational comparisons. Data from a convenience sample of children who drop out of school age 11 13 and 16 from Izmir were collected either by interviews or by self-completion. The results show that compared to children who do not drop out of school children who drop out of school have higher rates of psychological and physical abuse and neglect within the family. This study not only highlights the need for preventive laws for CAN and dropping out of school but also points to direction for future research. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
