Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Some acts of corporal punishment reported in our study might not be acts of child abuse, and caveat is advised in the interpretation of these findings. The associations between stress and verbal abuse and corporal punishment were weakest among caregivers living in villages on quarantine or restriction of movement with quarantined or ill family members. In other words, there seem to be effect modification by lockdown experience, although we are not quite sure of the mechanism behind it. It is possible that some of the household’s children were quarantined or treated and placed in an area designated by the state with chaprones instead of staying at home, which reduced the amount of contact between the caregivers and the children and, subsequently, the opportunities where abuses could occur. It is also possible that lockdown experiences were associated with economic or material hardship, which was found to be associated with parenting stress (Xu et al., 2020). In that regard, we did not directly ask participants about the extent that they experienced material hardship, and future studies should consider making such measurements using tools recently developed for household surveys (Fallon et al., 2020). In addition, the study area has experienced by decades-long armed conflict with as many as 20,000 casualties(Deep South Watch, 2020). Casualty was particularly heavy during the first decade of the conflict (Abuza, 2015; Human Rights Watch, 2007). The security situation deterred in...
