Abstract
A growing population of immigrant children and families to the
U.S. from Latin American countries requires consideration of
their unique historical, sociocultural, and linguistic contexts in
child abuse and neglect prevention. In light of the Family First
Prevention Services Act’s focus on evidence-based child maltreatment prevention interventions, this systematic review analyzed interventions with relevance for use with immigrant
populations coming from Latin American countries. Sixty-two
interventions met inclusion criteria. This review revealed few
gold standard interventions that address the unique needs of
Latinx immigrant populations, highlighting a need for the development and study of interventions for these populations that
are federally reimbursable.
