Introduction
The movement to promote evidencebased practices for child maltreatment prevention has been a
priorityfortheworkofCommunityBasedChildAbusePrevention(CBCAP)LeadAgenciesforthelast
several years. The impetus was the result of efforts already underway across the country and was
acceleratedbytheFederalOfficeofManagementandBudgets(OMB)ProgramAssessmentRating
Tool (PART) process for assessing the effectiveness of all federally funded programs. Through the
work of the CBCAP PART and Outcomes Workgroup, a PART efficiency measure to measure the
percentage of CBCAP funds used to support evidencebased and evidenceinformed programs was
proposed and approved by OMB in 2005. There was an intentional effort to use a broad definition
which included evidencebased as well as evidenceinformed programs because of the recognition
that there were so few evidencebased programs available. There was also a need to continue to
work on rigorously evaluating existing programs to increase the evidence base over the longterm.
Theapprovedmeasure,nowineffectacrossallfederallyfunded(CBCAP)programs,istoincreaseby
3% annually the percentage of CBCAP funds that supports evidenceinformed and evidencebased
(EI/EB) programs and practices. Each year, CBCAP Lead Agencies submit a detailed report on the
fundsspentonprogramsmeetingthecriteriausedtodefineevidencebasedandevidenceinformed
programs.
1
The array of EI/EB programs and practices covers a broad range of programming. To measure
increases in their use, a system was put in place specifying four categories of EI/EB. The categories
are: Emerging/Evidence Informed, Promising, Supported, and WellSupported. Definitions of each
category are clearly defined in Appendix A of this document. They are based on other definitions
usedbyexistingnationalregistriesforevidencebasedprograms.Thecategoriesareorganizedintoa
continuumofevidence,withWellSupportedandSupportedprogramshavingthestrongestlevelof
evidence for effectiveness, followed by Promising programs with moderate evidence. Finally,
EmergingandEvidenceinformedprogramsrepresentthosewithexploratoryevidence.Forpurposes
of CBCAP, States have been informed since the beginning that programs funded in one category
does not necessarily mean they are better than programs in another category. Selection of
program services should be based on many factors, such as appropriateness for the population
served,communityneeds,andagencycapacitytoimplementserviceswithfidelity.
2
Whatiscriticalis
that all services funded must at least meet the criteria for Emerging/Evidence Informed programs.
That means, in part, that they have: a logic model, a theory of change based on the best research

literature available, ongoing evaluation, a manual or set of policies and procedures, and a
commitment to continuous quality improvement. States will need to carefully assess their local
needsandtherangeofdifferentevidenceinformedandevidencebasedprogramstheywillneedto
fundtomeetthosediverseneeds.
The Matrix of EvidenceInformed and EvidenceBased Programs and Practices (EI/EBPs) was
designed to provide information to State CBCAPLead Agencies in order to identify possible
programstheymaywanttoconsiderfunding.ThematrixwillfurtherassistStateCBCAPleadsinthe
classification of funded programs for their annual CBCAP reporting requirement. Inclusion in the
matrix does not imply an endorsement by FRIENDS or the Childrens Bureau. Programs were
selected based on their relevancy to child abuse and neglect prevention and their presence on four
EBP national registries. FRIENDS developed the matrix by reviewing information on those existing
EBP registries and, using that information, classified programs to align with the CBCAP EI/EB
definitions. FRIENDS did not conduct a scientific review of the evidence supporting the programs,
rather,itdependedontheexistinginformationreportedonthevariouswebsites.
The matrix (on pages 46) is meant to be a starting point; it is not intended to be exhaustive.
Certainly, there are many programs missing from the matrix, not because they are unworthy, but
because they were either not brought to our attention or because information on them was not
readily available on existing evidencebased practices registries at the time this document was
completed.
Program descriptions (pages 787) are linked to the matrix, allowing readers to easily navigate
between them. The descriptions provide details that would be of interest to those who wish to
further examine programs listed in the matrix. Information in the program descriptions was
gathered from literature provided by program developers, Evidence Based Practice registries
descriptions,andinsomecases,directlyfromtheprogramdevelopersorpurveyors.
We hope the information provided here will be of use to those engaged in child abuse and neglect
preventionandfamilysupport.Thefieldasawholeisstrivingtoprovidethemosteffectiveservices

Please Note: This matrix is a resource to help states identify evidence-based and evidence-informed prevention programs that may be funded with CBCAP. It is not meant to be an
exhaustive list and states may fund other programs not listed on this matrix. This matrix only contains programs reviewed on one of the four registries noted above as of December 2007 that
were identified through an initial screening to have relevance to CBCAP outcome goals. If a program is not identified in this matrix, it does not necessarily mean that the program is ineffective
or harmful. The matrix is intended to be a living document that will be updated and expanded periodically.
