Evaluation of Parenting Interventions to Decrease Family Risk for Child Maltreatment

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Child Abuse

In brief

The purpose of this research is to evaluate specific parenting programs that aim to improve the family's ability to keep children physically safe and emotionally secure. We would like to learn more about how the treatments actually help families and to find out how an intervention that focuses on child health and safety compares with one that focuses on the parent and child relationship. We also want to determine whether participating in one program type versus the other results in further reports for child maltreatment.
