Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's web-based behavioral parent training (BPT) program, Essentials for Parenting Toddlers and Preschoolers (EfP), uses a psychoeducational approach to promote positive parenting and address common parenting challenges. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of EfP on parenting behavior and whether implementation format impacted behavioral outcomes.
Methods: A sample of 200 parents of 2- to 4-year-old children were recruited via Internet advertising.
Policies that improve the socioeconomic conditions of families have been identified as one of the most promising strategies to prevent child maltreatment, particularly neglect. In this study, we examined the impact of integrated Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and child welfare (CW) systems on child maltreatment-related hospitalizations and Child Protective Services investigations and substantiations in nine counties in Colorado from 1996 to 2014. Regression analyses showed TANF-CW integration was associated with subsequent year, but not second-year, increases rates of substantiated child maltreatment overall and neglect specifically (that is, there was no longer a difference in the rate two years after the change in integration).

- This study estimates the lifetime short-term lost productivity of victims due to intimate partner violence, sexual violence, or stalking using data from the 2012 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey.
- The analysis found that nearly 741 million lost productive days were reported by adults affected by these types of victimization, resulting in an estimated cost of $110 billion over the victims' lifetimes.
- Factors linked to higher lost productivity included having more perpetrators, gender (with females more affected), and specific types of violence, highlighting the broader economic impact on families and workplaces.
Purpose: Sexual violence (SV) perpetration on college campuses is a serious and prevalent public health issue in the U.S. In response, incoming male freshmen are mandated to receive SV prevention programming.
