The Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect: Pipe Dreams or Possibilities?

John Leventhal

Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, USA, john.leventhal{at}yale.edu

A new interest in the prevention of child abuse and neglect has resulted in the development of home-based prevention programs in the USA. Several randomized trials comparing home visitation with standard care have been conducted, and results from these studies suggest that such interventions can affect the occurrence of maltreatment, as well as other outcomes related to the child's and mother's functioning. This new evidence suggests that the prevention of abuse and neglect is a real possibility and not a pipedream.

Key Words: abuse • home visitation • neglect • prevention
