Isi artikel

In this article, the authors provide an overview of measurement issues relevant to monitoring and evaluation of child maltreatment and family violence prevention programs. This review originally was developed for use in a family violence prevention program in amilitary setting but can be adapted to similar programs, such as early intervention and family support efforts, that seek to prevent maltreatment and enhance family well-being. The multiple purposes of measurement, including use as screening, clinical assessment, or outcome tools, are discussed. Guidelines for selecting appropriate domains for evaluation are discussed, and specific information on a sampling of instruments is provided, including standardized measures of family and child well-being, parenting, stress and coping, and family violence. Suggestions for measures of key individual and family constructs are included.
