Described here is Project 12-Ways, a large service project employing an ecobehavioral approach to the treatment and prevention of child abuse and neglect. By ecobehavioral it is meant that multifaceted in-home services are provided to clients, and that in-home data are collected on as many variables related to these services as possible. Four levels of research, data collection, and assessment are used to evaluate these services: Included here is a discussion of these levels of assessment. They are: data collected for clinical purposes; data from single-case experiments; research through the use of single-subject design logic applied to several subjects or groups of subjects, or by group statistical research designs; and program evaluation. The particular focus here is the program evaluation data which compare incidents of abuse and neglect during and after treatment between 50 families served by Project 12-Ways and 47 comparison protective service families. The data showed significantly fewer combined abuse and neglect incidents among the families served by Project 12-Ways. Suggestions for additional program evaluation data are provided along with a discussion of the limitations of the current analysis.
这里介绍的是“十二项措施”项目，这是一个大型服务项目，采用生态行为方法来治疗和预防虐待及忽视儿童的问题。所谓生态行为方法，是指为客户提供多方面的家庭服务，并尽可能收集与这些服务相关的众多变量的家庭数据。使用四个层次的研究、数据收集和评估来评价这些服务：这里包括对这些评估层次的讨论。它们是：为临床目的收集的数据；单案例实验的数据；通过将单主体设计逻辑应用于多个主体或主体组进行的研究，或通过组统计研究设计进行的研究；以及项目评估。这里特别关注的是项目评估数据，该数据比较了“十二项措施”项目服务的50个家庭与47个对照保护性服务家庭在治疗期间及之后的虐待和忽视事件。数据显示，“十二项措施”项目服务的家庭中，虐待和忽视事件的总数明显较少。文中还提供了关于更多项目评估数据的建议，以及对当前分析局限性的讨论。
