“ Compendium of Outcome Measurement Tools for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect”

ORS is pleased to announce the availability of its Compendium of Outcome Measurement Tools for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. ORS has a long history of working with grant making organizations such as Hawaii Children’s Trust Fund and Council for Children and Families (CCF) in Washington State to support their grantees in measuring outcomes related to research-based Protective Factors for the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Based on this work, ORS compiled the Compendium , consisting of examples of tools developed and used by a diverse array of programs conducting work related to the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Some are nationally recognized and based on formal research, while others have been custom-designed to meet the unique needs of programs. To download the Compendium, click here.
