Abstract

The mistreatment of children is a problem that concerns the family, the community and the State. Because
of the seriousness of this problem and its consequences, public health has implemented different monitoring systems to grasp the magnitude of the phenomenon and its associated factors. However, different studies have shown that not only technological skills can offer any complete and timely information. In the past four years, in the Antioquia region, two programs have been implemented to monitor the internal family violence: the first one is named Vivir, and the second one, Haz paz, which is an initiative of the Presidential Council for Social Policy. In this paper the needs of monitoring systems are reviewed from a public health perspective; the results of a study about the characteristics of the information system of Medellín in the year 2001 are exposed; and a discussion is held about which could be the possible reasons that can explain why there is not enough information for an adequate planning in public health. It is concluded that the responsibility of the monitoring task can not be solely ascribed to some institutions, and that the State intervention is essential, so the information obtained can direct the care and prevention programs related to the mistreatment of children through an intersectorial and interinstitutional network, and thus their benefits could be evaluated.
