TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Bridging research and practice: Challenges and successes in implementing evidence-based preventive intervention strategies for child maltreatment JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Toth, Sheree L. A1 - Manly, Jody Todd SP - 633 EP - 636 VL - 35 IS - 8 N2 - Child maltreatment has been associated with a wide range of negative developmental outcomes for children and families as well as significant economic consequences. While efficacious intervention strategies have been demonstrated to reduce symptoms of trauma and to improve behavioral and emotional functioning, these models have not been widely adopted by clinicians. The challenges associated with exporting evidence-based interventions into community settings are discussed, along with an example of a preventive intervention program for young mothers, successfully implemented through a partnership of community agencies and funders.
