Proposed Projects
Title: Emerging Practices in Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention.
OMB No. New collection.
Description: With increasing understanding and recognition of the individual and family risk factors that increase the likelihood of child maltreatment, particularly since the 1990s, the role and importance of prevention has been vigorously promoted. As a consequence, the development, funding, and implementation of programs and initiatives with a specific focus on prevention, have proliferated around the country. However, the precise nature of these efforts-and their effectiveness-is not yet well understood, and information has not been systematically documented. By identifying and showcasing effective and emerging practices, this project will disseminate the best available information on effective and emerging child abuse and neglect prevention practices to researchers, advocates, practitioners, and policymakers in the prevention community.
Respondents: The universe of potential respondents consists of the child abuse and neglect professional community in its entirety, which includes practitioners, service providers, policy makers in state and local agencies, researchers, advocates, and other affiliated parties.
