Abstract
TOUZA, Carmen. An Analysis of Child Welfare Effective Interventions. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2018, vol.17, n.2, pp.197-209. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.upsy17-2.aiep.
The purpose of this article is to contribute to the discussion of the kind of interventions that could be most effective for child protection. To achieve this, the characteristics of some of the most highly valued programmes for evidence-based practice are analysed: the type of intervention used, their implementation formats and their effectiveness results. In the discussion, three possible factors that could be related to the effectiveness of these programmes are considered: the interaction between the use of evidence-based techniques and adaptation of the intervention to the needs of each family, the effects on motivation and the expectations of self-efficacy by the participants and the characteristics of the practitioners.
Keywords : child welfare; evidence-based practice; treatment effectiveness evaluation.
