Scaling Evidence-Based Models
Prepared for:
AmeriCorps
This report describes the scaling of Birth and Beyond (B&B), a parenting education and support intervention designed to reduce child maltreatment, by the Child Abuse Prevention Council (CAPC) of Sacramento and its partners. Using information gathered through the Scaling Evidence-Based Models project’s process study, this report presents a case study of CAPC, an AmeriCorps grantee. Through home visits or group classes in parenting education, crisis intervention services, and enhanced services to support families, B&B seeks to educate and support parents to reduce their risk of child maltreatment. This case study provides insights about how CAPC is scaling B&B, as well as the factors that appear to facilitate and hinder scaling.
