Childhood maltreatment represents an urgent public health problem, as it is highly prevalent, significantly increases risk for chronically impairing mental health problems, tends to persist across generations, and is very costly to society at large. Leveraging an existing partnership between a community-based organization and child welfare system, this project will examine the effectiveness of the Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) intervention, which targets sensitivity among parents who have maltreated their children. Findings will have substantial public health impact by assessing the effectiveness of the ABC intervention in a community context, identifying modifiable mechanistic pathways by which the ABC intervention may prevent later mental health problems, and identifying treatment moderators that may promote more targeted, cost-effective approaches to prevention.

As a result of the opiate crisis, child welfare agencies have experienced an increase in the number of children in foster care as parental substance use puts children at greater risk of maltreatment. To facilitate implementation of the Sobriety Treatment and Recovery Team (START) model, this study (1) identifies collaborative strategies associated with effective implementation and service outcomes given system and organizational context, (2) uses this evidence to specify strategies and develop a decision support guide to help agency leaders select collaborative strategies, and (3) assesses the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the decision support guide.
The Faithful House (TFH), is a 3-day faith-based skills-building curriculum which aims to increase household resilience by strengthening families. TFH draws on improved communication and conflict resolution skill building and the individual's faith-values as a catalyst for transformation in attitudes regarding gender roles in care giving and the use of violence in the home. The study hypothesis is that couples who complete the Faithful House Programme will demonstrate increased communication skills with their spouses and children, which reduces the negative impact of family stress triggers and ultimately leads to a reduction of intimate partner violence witnessed by children as well as physical and emotional violence against children by parents. The mixed methods study will include a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) of HIV/AIDS infected or conflicted couples and a child in each household, focus group discussions (FGD) of men, women and children and key informant interviews of local experts in family violence and social protection service network providers.
