The specific aims of this research are to: • examine the important program characteristics, outcome domains and research methods in evaluations of Australian "safe at home" programs, including the strengths and weaknesses of previous evaluations; • synthesise existing evaluations and literature to produce evidence of the effectiveness of "safe at home" programs; • provide direction for future evaluations and organisations by recommending key minimum elements and datasets in particular locations, contexts and circumstances to improve the safety of women and their children; and • establish a national, and potentially international, benchmark for future evaluations and projects in this field.
