dc.description.abstractThis article describes the findings of a national evaluation of Parents Anonymous® group participants conducted by the National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) from 2004-2007 (National Council on Crime and Delinquency, 2007) and funded by the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The study sample included 206 parents new to Parents Anonymous,® representing 54 Parents Anonymous® groups in 19 states The study contributes to research on child maltreatment prevention by assessing whether participation in Parents Anonymous® is associated with changes in child maltreatment outcomes and in risk and protective factors. After attending Parents Anonymous® mutual support group meetings, parents with a wide range of demographic and background characteristics and needs indicated statistically significant reductions in risk factors for child abuse and neglect. The study demonstrated that Parents Anonymous® is a promising program for the reduction of child maltreatment. (Author Abstract)en_US
