title = "SafeCare{\textregistered}: Historical perspective and dynamic development of an evidence-based scaled-up model for the prevention of child maltreatment",
abstract = "SafeCare is an evidence-based parent-training program that reduces child maltreatment, particularly neglect. The risk of child maltreatment, a public health issue affecting millions of U.S. children each year, can be markedly reduced by interventions such as SafeCare that deliver in-home services. Drawing from applied behavioral analysis roots, SafeCare focuses on providing parents with concrete skills in three areas: health, home safety, and parent-child/-infant interaction. This paper will include an overview of the SafeCare model, an historical perspective of its history and dynamic development, description of the theoretical underpinnings of the model, a description of the program targets and content by describing its modules and delivery, an overview of program outcomes, and data discussion of dissemination and implementation.",

note = "Funding Information: So as to increase dissemination and sustainability of SafeCare implementation, a train-the-trainer format is utilized. At the core of this are the HVs who provide direct services to families. They are supported by trained Coaches (also certified HVs), and supervisors who monitor session fidelity and assist with problem-solving as needed. The Coach, and the HV by proxy, is supported by a National SafeCare Training and Research Center (NSTRC) Training Specialist, who provides routine supervision. Initially, support from NSTRC is “live”, but after the Coach meets mastery criteria, support is primarily offered by NSTRC Training Specialists listening to audio-recorded sessions and providing feedback to coaches via telephone. These levels of support ensure sustainability of the intervention with frequent support that makes changing in staffing or funding easier and also the creation of autonomous intervention implementation sites (Fixsen, Naoom, Blase, Friedman, & Wallace, 2005).",
