Provides an overview of the current state of program evaluation as it is applied to the field of child abuse prevention, the extent to which empirical evaluation has been used, and the degree to which programs have been shown to be effective. Some of the problems that hamper the rigorous evaluation of real world (in situ) applied social programs are discussed.
