Effects of the Sacramento Neighborhood Alcohol Prevention Project on rates of child abuse and neglect 7 years post-implementation (1999-2010).

Reductions in child abuse and neglect due to an alcohol environmental intervention can be maintained. Environmental interventions that provide community-level primary prevention strategies could be more easily sustained and more cost effective than individual-level interventions, although more research is needed to identify why interventions may be successful in specific contexts and not others.
