These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Adolescent Health
  • Child Maltreatment Prevention

Background:

  • Child abuse prevention programs in high schools are prevalent but vary in scope and effectiveness.
  • Existing programs often lack integration with broader health curricula.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine current high school child abuse prevention programs.
  • To evaluate the content, instructional methods, and goals of these programs.

Main Methods:

  • Review and critical analysis of existing high school child abuse prevention program structures.
  • Appraisal of program goals and instructional strategies.

Main Results:

  • Programs are typically brief (<2 hours), primarily addressing sexual abuse and reporting.
  • Neglect and emotional abuse receive minimal attention.
  • Instructional methods predominantly use lecture and demonstration, neglecting interactive techniques like peer instruction and role-playing.

Conclusions:

  • Current high school child abuse prevention programs have significant limitations in scope and methodology.
  • Recommendations are provided for enhancing program emphasis, format, and content sequencing for more effective child maltreatment prevention.
