A National Initiative to Reduce Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities and Injuries Through a Collaborative, Community-Based Approach

During the first planning year of the Child Safety Forward initiative, the technical assistance team developed a series of resource briefs on topics most relevant to the demonstration sites. Topics were identified through a needs assessment and conversations with the sites about their interests. These briefs helped to inform strategies chosen by the sites for the two-year implementation period.

Topics of these resource briefs include:

  • Development Evaluation and Rapid Testing
  • Equitable Evaluation
  • Focus Groups
  • Implementation Science
  • Conducting a Community Needs Assessment
  • Parent and Community Engagement
  • Partnerships and Collaborations
  • Theory of Change
  • Strategy


This product was supported by cooperative agreement number 2019-V3-GX-K005, The OVC FY 2019 Reducing Child Fatalities and Recurring Child Injuries Caused by Crime Victimization demonstration initiative.
