Abstract

Objectives

More than 500,000 children experience neglect each year in the United States, yet few evidence-based parent-training programs focus primarily on preventing and mitigating the risk factors for neglect. A notable exception is SafeCare®. This review focuses on the research designs used at three phases of the SafeCare model: development, evaluation, and dissemination.

Methods

Presented in chronological order, the purpose is to highlight the 40-year evidence-base of the SafeCare model and to demonstrate that certain research designs are specific to phases of intervention development.

Results

The cumulative evidence from those 40 years for the SafeCare model and its predecessor is powerful.

Conclusions

Future research with a variety of experimental designs related to dissemination and implementation research are discussed.
