• Description:
  In August 2009 an environmental scan of state public health agencies’ (SPHAs) involvement in child maltreatment prevention efforts was conducted as part of a three-year project, the Public Health Leadership Initiative. The purpose of this environmental scan was to understand and identify the work that SPHAs are already engaging in to enhance family resiliency, foster healthy child development, and prevent child maltreatment. It is expected that the information from this scan, future case studies, and other activities of the Public Health Leadership Initiative will result in the development of new recommendations, tools, and resources to inform and enhance state efforts in the primary prevention of child maltreatment. The Public Health Leadership Initiative is supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation in partnership with the CDC Foundation and the Division of Violence Prevention at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  
  The Public Health Leadership Initiative is a three-year project to identify best practice models of state public health leadership in the prevention of child maltreatment and the promotion of safe, stable, and nurturing relationships for children. The project will also disseminate recommendations for core program components and related tools to support state-based public health efforts to address child maltreatment.
