Evidence-based and Promising Interventions for Preventing Child Fatalities and Severe Child Injuries Related to Child Maltreatment
Abstract
Though well-intentioned, current child welfare
services may be failing to protect children
from severe maltreatment due to constraints
in policy, program design, practice and
funding. Drawing from advances in the injury
control field and other areas, this document
summarizes the community conditions, systems
factors, evidence-based practices (EBPs), and
promising practices that may prevent child
fatalities and severe child injuries related to
child maltreatment. It also outlines future
directions for practice and research.
