I am a Swiss researcher collecting information for a National Research
Program on 'conditions for non-violent relations in families'. I'd like to
post a message requesting information (names, addresses, descriptions,
bibliographies etc.) on primary prevention programmes aimed directly at
preventing violence and abuse in families AND/OR that address the root
causes of violence by providing family members with conflict resolution
skills, prosocial behavior, cooperation, equality, etc. Thank you very much
in advance for your replies.

At Children's Hospital in san Diego we have been engaged in research on the
prevention of abuse and family violence for sefveral years. We are currently
engaged in a five year replication study of the Hawaii Healthy Start program.
You are welcome to contact either myself or one of my staff, at 619-495-8598
to further discuss the programs and the research.

You may also want to contact the NCPCA, which sponsores the Healthy Families
America effort.(312) 663-3520.

Many of the programs of which I am aware have curricula which address coping
skills, problem solving, and probably touch on some of the issues you are
interested in working with.
