Researchers wrap up the case for preventing childhood adversity, with tons of ACE research references. This is a handy reference paper to have around.
....Other CDC efforts are geared toward implementing effective approaches to prevent child maltreatment. For example, in collaboration with not-for-profit partners, CDC is funding two demonstration sites of Triple P (Positive Parenting Program), a system of interventions in which training and support are delivered to meet differing levels of families' needs. Triple P targets an entire community through media messages, brief consultations with families in primary care and other settings, and more intensive services and counseling to families experiencing problems in parenting or child behavior. Preliminary evidence indicates that Triple P can prevent child maltreatment[14] and is cost beneficial.[15] These demonstrations will inform implementation of the Triple P system in communities. CDC also provides consultation to the Health Resources and Services Administration and Administration for Children and Families on the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visitation Program.† Home visitation involves trained practitioners visiting parents in their homes to provide education and support on child development, child care, and parenting skills. The Task Force for Community Preventive Services has stated that home visitation programs can be both effective and cost-beneficial.[16] CDC also developed Essentials for Childhood,§ which proposes community strategies for promoting healthy relationships and environments for children.

This is another in a series of occasional MMWR reports titled CDC Grand Rounds. These reports are based on grand rounds presentations at CDC on high-profile issues in public health science, practice, and policy. Information about CDC Grand Rounds is available at http://www.cdc.gov/about/grand-rounds.
