Megan M. Letson works in child abuse pediatrics, studying how clinicians identify, diagnose, and respond to suspected child physical abuse, including biases in decision-making and referrals to child protective services. Her work also examines the wellbeing of professionals (such as child welfare workers and law enforcement) who handle these cases, and she contributes to large multi-site data projects that track abuse-related medical findings and outcomes. This research is generally aimed at improving clinical recognition of abuse and supporting the people who work in child protection systems.
Publication output has been variable but showed a notable increase around 2022-2023, followed by a pause in 2024 and renewed output in 2025-2026.
