Adding a parent-focused child sexual abuse prevention module to home visiting
Background Home visiting programs are an effective resource for parents to learn how to best support and protect their children as they grow and develop; however, there is a gap in home visiting content for equipping parents with the knowledge and skills needed to protect their children from child sexual abuse (CSA). Delivering CSA prevention content may be unfamiliar or uncomfortable, even for seasoned home visiting providers (i.e., parent educa…
Testing the Indirect Effects of Sense of Control & Perceived Stress in the Relationship between Child Abuse History & Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Adulthood
Navigating Cultural Adaptation
As the number of forcibly displaced persons worldwide increases, the number of children either forcibly displaced or born as refugees also multiplies. In addition to struggling with basic needs upon resettlement, disruption of daily life can lead to numerous stressors for forcibly displaced parents that may cause friction in the relationship between parent and child. Evidence-based parenting programs may help forcibly displaced parents reconceptu…
Firearm screening and secure storage counseling among home visiting providers
Background Firearms used in pediatric firearm deaths are most often obtained from the child’s home, making secure firearm storage initiatives imperative in prevention efforts. Evidence-based home visiting (EBHV) programs are implemented with over 277,000 families annually, providing an opportunity for secure firearm storage counseling. The purpose of this study was to assess EBHV providers’ experiences with firearm screening (“assessment”), secur…
Covid-19 and Caregiver Risk Factors for Child Maltreatment
The COVID-19 pandemic has fostered an environment for increased risk of child maltreatment (CM) as families experience increased psychosocial and financial burdens and spend unprecedented amounts of time together in the home. This narrative review aimed to summarize empirical findings on existing or new pandemic-related risk factors among caregivers. A combination of search terms related to CM and COVID-19 were used to identify articles published…
Investigating the feasibility of implementing the SafeCare parenting program in birthing centers in Haiti
Findings support that although there are contextual challenges to a SafeCare implementation in Haiti, birthing centers are ideal and feasible locations in which to deliver SafeCare. Birth center networks may be potential settings in which to disseminate and scale evidence-based programs for improved health outcomes for mothers and children
Childhood Polyvictimization and Associated Health Outcomes
Background: Polyvictimization, the experience of multiple types of victimization, is associated with detrimental health outcomes. Despite extensive research on the health consequences of polyvictimization, one challenge in understanding this literature lies in the varied operationalized definitions of polyvictimization and health outcomes. This scoping review provides the volume of the current literature on this topic, documents the varied constr…
It’s hard because it’s something new”
Purpose Parent–child relationships formed in early childhood have profound implications for a child’s development and serve as a determinant for bio-social outcomes in adulthood. Positive parenting behaviors play a strong role in this development and are especially impactful during times of crisis because they buffer stressors that may lead to externalizing and internalizing behaviors. Children of forced migrants experience numerous extreme stres…
Abusive Head Trauma in Child Maltreatment-Related Homicide Cases in the United States
Home, but Left Alone
We use high-frequency mobile phone movement data and quick-release administrative data from Georgia to examine how time at home during the COVID-19 pandemic is related to child maltreatment referrals. Findings show that referrals plummeted by 58% relative to previous years, driven by fewer referrals from education personnel. After this initial decline, however, each 15 minutes at home was associated with an increase in referrals of material negle…
Associations Among Age of First Experience of Violence, Type of Victimization, Polyvictimization, and Mental Distress in Nigerian Females
This study explored associations of age of first victimization, sexual violence (SV), physical violence (PV), polyvictimization, and mental distress among females in Nigeria ( n = 1,766, 13–24 years old) using the nationally representative 2014 Nigeria Violence Against Children Survey. Multinomial logistic regressions were performed. Nigerian females reporting SV victimization and polyvictimization were more likely to experience higher mental dis…

Evaluating child maltreatment and family violence risk during the Covid‐19 Pandemic
The COVID‐19 pandemic has affected many child maltreatment risk factors and may have affected maltreatment among vulnerable families. We surveyed 258 certified providers of an evidence‐based home visiting program, SafeCare, about their perception of the impact of the pandemic on the families they serve. We examined if the providers perceived an overall change in child maltreatment and family violence risk among the families with young children th…
Adaptation and implementation of a parenting curriculum in a refugee/immigrant community using a task-shifting approach
The need for adapting of evidence-based programs and delivery methods for specific populations continues to be an important research question in implementation science. The goal of this study is to better understand an adaptation process and delivery method for three unique populations. We hope the study will inform other efforts to deliver health intervention to refugee communities and ultimately improve refugee health
Comparing fidelity monitoring methods in an evidence-based parenting intervention
Purpose Two common methods in community settings of assessing program fidelity, a critical implementation component for program effectiveness, are video and audio recordings of sessions. This paper aims to examine how these two methods compared when used for a home-based behavioral parenting-training model (SafeCare®). Design/methodology/approach Twenty-five SafeCare video-recorded sessions between home visitors and parents were scored by trained…

Covid-19 and Distance Learning
On March 11, 2020, the World Health organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Following the speed with which COVID-19 spread to all parts of the world, and to contain the spread of the disease, most governments around the world, including the US, authorized unprecedented social containment measures to stem the tide. These measures among others required social distancing and the temporary physical closure of educational institutions. The G…

Behavior change across implementations of the SafeCare model in real world settings
Does adoption of an evidence‐based practice lead to job turnover? Results from a randomized trial
It is important to understand the impact of implementation of evidence‐based practices (EBPs) on the workforce. EBP implementation can increase job demands, stress, and burnout, and may thereby exacerbate turnover. This study examined the effects of implementation of an EBP on turnover among staff at nine child welfare agencies. A total of 102 providers were randomized to either adopt an EBP, SafeCare © , or continue providing services as usual. …

Dynamic adaptation process to implement an evidence-based child maltreatment intervention
BACKGROUND: Adaptations are often made to evidence-based practices (EBPs) by systems, organizations, and/or service providers in the implementation process. The degree to which core elements of an EBP can be maintained while allowing for local adaptation is unclear. In addition, adaptations may also be needed at the system, policy, or organizational levels to facilitate EBP implementation and sustainment. This paper describes a study of the feasi…
Technology-Based Innovations in Child Maltreatment Prevention Programs
Each year, hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S. are victims of child maltreatment. Experts recommend behavioral, skill-based parent training programs as a strategy for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. These programs can be enhanced using innovative technology strategies. This paper presents a brief history of the use of technology in SafeCare®, a home visiting program shown to prevent child neglect and physical abuse, and highl…
Public child welfare staff knowledge, attitudes, and referral behaviors for an evidence based parenting program
Little is known about how the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of the public child welfare work force influence implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) as most research has focused on the private workforce. This paper reports on public child welfare staff knowledge, attitudes, and practices in a state implementing the EBP, SafeCare®. A survey of public child welfare staff (N = 222) was conducted to assess knowledge, familiarity, and re…
