This paper presents a case model for linkage of social service delivery programs with the prevention and detection of child abuse. The example of problem and problem linkage is given for the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment Program (EPSDT), the nation's largest preventive child health screening program designed to detect and treat early childhood medical and developmental conditions in indigent children. The screening activities combined with the efforts to educate parents as to the nature of normal child development suggests that the EPSDT program may be used to prevent the development of conditions that may lead to abuse as well as to identify children who have been abused.
