Preventing Child Abuse introduces family-based prevention programs: interventions involving families, designed to prevent child abuse and help caregivers whose substance use can lead to violence in the home. Using an in-depth case study of a program developed by the authors, the book takes a comprehensive look at the theories behind family-based prevention programs, ways to adapt them for different cultural settings, and methods of evaluating their efficacy.
