Abstract
The field of home visitation to prevent child abuse and neglect provides a good example of issues in outcome measurement that have not undergone sufficient critique. Some frequently used measures being used as outcome assessments have not been specifically designed for outcome measurement and therefore have limitations. In particular, some of these measures are not well equipped to document changes that are intended to result from intervention programs. Outcome measurement in home visitation can be improved with more attention to measurement issues.
