Exemplary prevention programs were nominated for the project and reviewed by an advisory group of experts. Three programs were accepted as effective, seven programs were considered to be innovative, and 12 were recognized as having noteworthy aspects. The organizations focused on family relationships, parenting, emergency care, assessment, and assault protection. The report provides an overview of child abuse prevention and describes each of the selected programs. Numerous references.
