Abstract

An increased awareness of the frequency and severity of child abuse and neglect in our society has prompted consideration of the feasibility of perinatal screening and early intervention for this problem. This article reviews the available information on screening and early intervention for high-risk parenting in the perinatal period. The advantages, disadvantages, and cost-effectiveness of screening and intervention for children and families at risk for abuse and neglect are also discussed.
