SESSION 3: What Have We Learned About Prevention Research and Its Impact on Practice and Policy in Human Services and Healthcare Systems This session will explore the evidence base for effective prevention interventions. Speakers will discuss research that evaluates prevention efforts for universal, selected, and indicated populations (primary, secondary, and tertiary interventions). They will also highlight outcomes for effective preventive interventions and how to evaluate and monitor performance in scaling up promising programs. Moderator:John Leventhal, Yale University Assessment of Universal Preventive Interventions in Community and Hospital Settings Deborah Daro, Chapin Hall, University of Chicago Assessment of Secondary Preventive Interventions with High-Risk Populations Frank Putnam, Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center Assessment of Prevention of Recurrent Offenses (for parents) or Prevention of Adverse Consequences (for children) Mark Chaffin, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center |

SESSION 4: What Have We Learned About the Design and Delivery of Services? This session will examine notable advances in knowledge of how to design and deliver services to maltreated children and their families, with a focus on topics that, if targeted in future research are likely to have a substantial impact on reducing chronic abuse and neglect and the negative consequences. Moderator: Lucy Berliner, University of Washington Parenting Interventions: Impact on Child and Family Outcomes and Role in Child Welfare Services John Landsverk, Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego Child-Focused Interventions to Address Internalizing Problems of Children Who Experience Abuse, Exposure to Violence, and Neglect Shannon Dorsey, University of Washington Prevention and Treatment of Child Maltreatment Risk for Families Dealing with Multiple Problems Steven Ondersma, Wayne State University School of Medicine Discussion |
