in the outcomes associated with abuse and neglect (Zielinski and Bradshaw, 2006; Berry, 2007); the extent to which
children who get hit experience impaired health or development depends

in a low - warmth / high - criticism environment (DoH, 1995).

However, for both
child abuse and parent stress, the average effect sizes were not different from zero, suggesting a lack of evidence for effects
in these areas.108 Earlier meta - analytic reviews have also noted the lack of sizable effects
in preventing
child maltreatment — again citing the different intensity of surveillance of families
in the treatment versus control groups as an explanation (though the authors did report that home visiting was associated with an approximately 25 percent reduction
in the rate of childhood injuries).109 Another review focusing
on the quality of the home environment also found evidence for a significant overall effect of home - visiting programs.110 More recently, Harriet MacMillan and colleagues published a review of interventions to prevent
child maltreatment, and identified the Nurse - Family Partnership and Early Start programs as the most effective with regard to preventing
maltreatment and childhood injuries.
For example, a review
