Abstract: 

The high reported incidence of child maltreatment has led to a wide range of programs aimed at promoting family wellness and preventing child maltreatment. A number of these programs have been evaluated to determine their effectiveness and to identify factors that contribute to their success. This information sheet describes the results of a meta-analysis of 56 evaluated programs designed to promote family wellness and prevent child maltreatment.
