“…In our previous paper (Salazar et al, 2016), we presented preliminary findings from the evaluation of the Keeping Families Together adapted approach approximately 1 year into implementation, which suggested that implementation was manageable for sites (as evidenced by sites reporting high implementation fidelity and low implementation challenge ratings), and that community board functioning and community adoption of a science-based approach to prevention were comparable to that of the 12 traditional CTC trial sites at a similar point in the implementation process. The current paper aims to provide an update on site progress 3.5 years into the implementation process.…”

“…The second involved updating the positional community leaders who participate in the Community Key Informant Survey (an instrument used to assess community transformation) to include child welfare and early learning representatives. A more thorough description of our adaptation process, additional adaptations that were made, and initial evaluation findings can be found in Salazar et al (2016).…”

“…C. Brown et al, 2014) is a survey of key positional and referred community leaders that assesses the degree of transformation of community prevention service systems (in this case, child maltreatment prevention) and incorporates other validated scales from measures used with key leaders to assess CTC implementation (Feinberg, Greenberg, Osgood, Anderson, & Babinski, 2002). For this adaptation, CKIs were collected from 11 positional leaders (e.g., child welfare director, Head Start leader, mayor, lead law enforcement) and six referred leaders (two each from child welfare, early learning, and prevention) in each community every other year (the full list of positional leader types recruited for this study can be found in Salazar et al (2016). This paper includes findings from two waves of CKI data: one collected from both sites in spring 2014 (approximately 1 year into CTC implementation) and the second collected approximately 2.5 to 3 years later, in winter/early spring of 2017 (approximately 3.5-4 years into implementation).…”

Objective: Communities That Care (CTC) is an evidence-based community mobilization model designed to prevent problematic adolescent behaviors such as delinquency and substance use by organizing community coalitions that choose and implement evidence-based practices to address community-specific risk and protective factors. This paper presents findings from the evaluation of Keeping Families Together (KFT), an adapted CTC approach that uses the community mobilization model to target community-wide prevention of child maltreatment in families with children aged 0 to 10, 3.5 years into implementation. Method: The findings from the 2 communities implementing the adapted KFT approach are compared with those from 12 communities that implemented the traditional CTC model as part of a site-randomized controlled trial. Data collected approximately 3.5 years into each approach's implementation are analyzed to determine whether this adapted approach has resulted in similar implementation quality as well as satisfactory board functioning and community transformation (key indicators of successful CTC implementation and predictors of outcome achievement that have been identified in previous CTC studies) as original CTC. In addition, we assess whether perceived program sustainability is similar between adapted and traditional CTC sites at similar time points. Results: Statistical testing revealed that, at 3.5 years into implementation, board functioning, communities' adoption of a science-based approach to prevention, and sustainability in the adapted KFT approach were equal or superior to traditional CTC sites. Conclusions: As an adaptation of the evidence-based CTC community mobilization approach, KFT offers the potential of a promising extension of CTC to the prevention of child maltreatment.

“…As noted previously, eight of the included articles described or evaluated an intervention designed to increase community support for vulnerable families. The most common of which were the Strong Communities initiative (Hashima et al, 2008;Haski-Leventhal et al, 2008;Kimbrough-Melton & Melton, 2015;McLeigh, Katz, Davidson-Arad, & Ben-Arieh, 2017;McLeigh et al, 2015) and Keeping Families Together, adapted from Communities that Care (Salazar et al, 2016;Salazar et al, 2019). One article provided an overview of five different programs, three of which target community social norms (rather than parenting practices) (Daro & Dodge, 2009).…”

Background: Communities can play an important role in protecting children and supporting vulnerable families. However, there is currently a lack of understanding regarding what communities actually think and do regarding these groups. Objective: The purpose of this study was to review and synthesize evidence on community attitudes and behaviours towards vulnerable families. Methods: A rapid systematic literature review was conducted, supplemented by six semi-structured interviews with experienced practitioners. Four databases were searched using keywords related to community attitudes and behaviours, parents and families, and family and child protection services. Results: Database searches returned 10,135 unique records, of which 23 met the inclusion criteria. The identified articles investigated a range of attitudes and behaviours, including: reporting abuse and neglect; assisting victims of intimate partner violence; attitudes towards parenting practices; and, participating in activities that build social support and social capital. Correlates of these attitudes and behaviours included: socio-demographic characteristics, individual differences, community characteristics, and incident characteristics. A number of interventions to change community attitudes and behaviours were also identified. Practitioners indicated that success factors for interventions included: facilitating active participation from community members; using multi-faceted approaches; and increasing empathy towards vulnerable families. Conclusions: Despite increasing evidence around how community members think and act towards vulnerable families, more (particularly review-level) research is needed to determine how to effectively change these attitudes and behaviours.
