The purpose of this assignment is to identify an area of prevention for child abuse and neglect and to select and apply one prevention strategy when creating a community prevention plan. Additionally, you will develop an evaluation plan for this prevention intervention.
Identified Problem: Child born substance exposed
- Identify the problem of child abuse and neglect and support the presence of the problem with support from literature and statistics.
- Identify the population or community you will focus on for your prevention plan. Describe this population or community, supported with literature/statistics on the community or population.
- Provide several options of prevention plans based on your search of the literature (library search of articles, government websites, childwelfare.gov, etc.).
- Discuss the pros and cons of each option when considering use with your community/population.
Select 1 prevention plan and detail how it would be implemented, including a timeline, and one key goal, and a minimum of 2 SMART objectives. Discuss your evaluation plan- how will you measure if this intervention is working? How will you know if it is making a difference? (hint- if your objectives are MEASURABLE, then this part will be very simple). Provide a conclusion including discussion of any potential barriers to implementing your community prevention plan.
