Objective
The objectives of the project are:
1. To provide a comprehensive overview of the issue of definition of child abuse in European countries and identify the implications of this for the development of prevention strategies.
f. To identify the different prevention strategies operating in Europe relevant to child abuse and to assess methods of evaluation of effectiveness.
3. To coordinate and compare available health data on child abuse in European countries to:
i. Initiate measurement of the extent to which child abuse is a health problem.
ii. Contribute to the development of prevention strategies, particularly in the assessment of their effectiveness.
Prevention in relation to child abuse can be seen as operating at three levels: Broad ranging public education and awareness raising (primary), targeting 'at risk' groups (secondary) and responding after maltreatment has heen reported (tertiary). Each research team is engaged in research at one or more of these levels. CAPCAE aims to standardise data collection between the teams and to develop prevention strategies on the basis of this data, which will reflect actual levels of harm and injuries and specific information on cause and type of intervention. CAPCAE will be centrally concerned with extracting data relevant to the development of public health prevention strategies, rather than social reform. A series of concerted action workshops, bringing together all partners and reinforced by scientific support will produce a series of reports on: Standardising child abuse and relevant child health data for European analysis; prevention strategies and methods of evaluation of effectiveness; and developing prevention strategies on the basis of actual harms and injuries. Dissemination is a key component of the CA. CAPCAE will devise pilot materials for prevention strategies as part of its dissemination phase. The project will culminate in a European Conference on the Prevention of Child Abuse.
