Uninsky, Philip – Child Trends, 2010
A great deal of attention recently has focused on evidence-based programs--interventions that have been found through rigorous evaluation to have positive effects or impacts on targeted outcomes.

Toth, Sheree L.; Manly, Jody Todd; Nilsen, Wendy J. – Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology, 2008
Research has informed practice since the origins of developmental psychology, but only recently has basic science and practice begun to be consistently integrated with one another.

Sebald, Ann M. – American Annals of the Deaf, 2008
The professional literature contains research and anecdotal information on various maltreatments affecting children and youth with and without disabilities.

Chabot, Heather Frasier; Tracy, Tracy L.; Manning, Christine A.; Poisson, Chelsea A. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2009
Most domestic violence (DV) researchers examine professional intervention (e.g., police and nurses), but informal helpers (e.g., friends and bystanders) are critical. The authors measure undergraduates' intervention likelihood, type of involvement (i.e., contact with abuser), and the influence of attribution decisions in DV situations where the…

This body of research has stimulated the development of promising…

Harnett, Paul; Day, Crispin – Clinical Psychologist, 2008
The prevalence of child abuse and neglect is an international concern that justifies the existence of child protection systems. An important first principle for all such statutory child protection systems is to ensure that the system itself does no further harm. It can be argued that there are specific circumstances within which well-meaning…

Nalavany, Blace A.; Ryan, Scott D.; Howard, Jeanne A.; Smith, Susan Livingston – Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, 2008
Objective: To date, little empirical attention has been given to the impact of preadoptive child sexual abuse (CSA) on adoption adjustment. The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether preadoptive CSA was associated with more placement moves, adoption disruption, and inconsistent parental commitment compared to adopted…

Daro, Deborah; Dodge, Kenneth A. – Future of Children, 2009
Deborah Daro and Kenneth Dodge observe that efforts to prevent child abuse have historically focused on directly improving the skills of parents who are at risk for or engaged in maltreatment. But, as experts increasingly recognize that negative forces within a community can overwhelm even well-intentioned parents, attention is shifting toward…

Researchers have identified four common co-occurring parental risk factors--substance abuse, mental illness, domestic violence, and child conduct problems--that lead to child maltreatment. The extent to which maltreatment prevention programs must directly address these risk factors to improve responsiveness to parenting programs or can directly…

Howard, Kimberly S.; Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne – Future of Children, 2009
Kimberly Howard and Jeanne Brooks-Gunn examine home visiting, an increasingly popular method for delivering services for families, as a strategy for preventing child abuse and neglect. They focus on early interventions because infants are at greater risk for child abuse and neglect than are older children. In their article, Howard and Brooks-Gunn…
