CAPNET, a multicenter child abuse pediatrics research network, has been established to enhance the medical care of children who may have been abused. It achieves this by collecting comprehensive clinical data from evaluations of child physical abuse at 11 leading pediatric centers across the U.S. With an annual data collection encompassing over 4000 children, CAPNET aims to support research that improves the standardization, equity, and accuracy of medical evaluations in cases of suspected child physical abuse. This initiative not only facilitates multiple research studies focused on the care of these children but also aims to serve as a valuable resource for the broader child maltreatment research community. The development, content, and potential future directions of CAPNET, along with the lessons learned throughout its establishment, are discussed, highlighting its significance in advancing the field of child abuse pediatrics.
