Prevention of child maltreatment

["JOSHUA PATRICK MERSKY" <jpmersky@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

We are writing to request references for any evaluation studies of 
maltreatment (primary) prevention programs. We have already collected 
evaluations of home visitation programs (e.g., Olds and colleagues), but 
are still searching for community-based and school-based programs that may 
reveal prevention effects on maltreatment outcomes.

We are conducting a literature review on behalf of the Chicago Longitudinal 
Study (CLS) in order to better understand our findings  which indicate that 
the Chicago Child-Parent Center Program was associated with a significant 
reduction in substantiated child maltreatment  (Reynolds, A. & Robertson, 
D. 2003).

If anyone knows of empirical studies of prevention/intervention programs 
that test maltreatment as an outcome, we would appreciate learning of them.

Sincerely,

Joshua Mersky
Research Asst., CLS
