Child abuse and neglect are social and public health problems that
need to be addressed by strong policies and dynamic initiatives
that show quantifiable results. The Healthy Families America (R)
Initiative: Integrating Research, Theory and Practice is the most
up-to-date examination of the home visitation program aimed at
preventing child abuse and neglect. This contemporary and
comprehensive summary of research and practice contains five
empirical articles at the national, state, and multi-state levels,
scholarly reviews, insights into Healthy Families America (R) (HFA)
challenges and successes, and commentaries about the next steps for
HFA. This detailed study of HFA is a roadmap for prevention efforts
of the future, discussing in detail its past and present, the
benefits and challenges of researcher/practitioner partnerships,
and expert suggestions to improve practice. Healthy Families
America is a program that works to help new families give their
children a healthy, abuse- and neglect-free environment in which to
grow. The Healthy Families America (R) Initiative: Integrating
Research, Theory and Practice looks closely at the research to
assess whether or not the program has actually attained its
projected goals. This book comprehensively discusses the programs
from both micro and macro perspectives, while offering practical
strategies to strengthen HFA and guide the next phase of child
abuse prevention. This resource also provides several tables to
clearly present research data and is extensively referenced. The
Healthy Families America (R) Initiative: Integrating Research,
Theory and Practice covers the history of HFA; challenges and
successes associated with its expansion as a national prevention
initiative; the credentialing process; the evolution of the HFA
Research to Practice Network (RPN); information on Every Child
Succeeds and Healthy Families Arizona programs, and what makes them
work; the theory, research, and practical constraints of
developing, implementing, and evaluating a multi-site and statewide
HFA program; the Web-based eECS system that optimizes quality
assurance and collects data to document and identify clinical
needs; an overview of the literature on home visiting outcomes; a
current comprehensive summary of HFA outcomes; and suggestions on
how to frame child abuse and neglect prevention to best impact
citizens and public policy. The Healthy Families America (R)
Initiative: Integrating Research, Theory and Practice is essential
reading for professionals involved in child abuse and neglect
prevention and treatment, community psychologists, professionals
involved in prevention and health promotion, child advocates, HFA's
program evaluators and practitioners, sociologists, and
policymakers.
