Abstrakt:	Background and Objectives: Child maltreatment (CM) is a global problem that has long-term negative outcomes. The objective of this study is to explore the knowledge and perceptions of youth regarding CM prevention. Methods: The study was conducted in Saudi Arabia using International Child Abuse Screening Tool (ICAST). Answers to open-ended questions were analyzed and a list of CM prevention strategies was generated. Results: Participants identified a range of preventive strategies that were grouped into three main themes: 1) collective preventive efforts; 2) recognizing and responding to CM; 3) gaining closure. For each overarching theme, a list of subthemes were derived. Subthemes included raising awareness through the mass media; school professionals' capacity building and curriculum advancement; strengthening family relationships; enact CM preventive legislations and policies; monitoring media content and video games and limiting access to firearms for the first theme. The second theme comprised the subthemes reporting services and protective services. As for the third theme it included rehabilitation; punishment for CM crimes and connection to spirituality.
