This final report is a process evaluation of the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Project describing the efforts to develop a statewide philosophy and an operational plan in Texas toward primary and secondary prevention of child abuse and neglect. Discussion focuses on the background and origin of the project, first and second year operations and accomplishments, first and second year utilization and dissemination, and second year issues and problems. Appended to the report are a national survey of the state-of-the-art preventive services in child abuse and neglect and a literature review, both of which were conducted by project staff. The survey gathered information about primary and secondary prevention activities in 30 responding states. Analysis identifies factors significant in establishing a high-quality prevention program. In addition to community support, economic considerations, program evaluation, secondary prevention, and criteria for program development, the project's literature review discusses (1) research projects that attempt to determine the most effective kinds of prevention activities, and (2) theoretical models of prevention that have not been tested. Also appended are two tables of contents, one for a school administrators' handbook on the implementation of anti-victimization programs for school children, and another for a manual on the organization of a community coalition to prevent child abuse.
