Welcome
The Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse was established by the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to conduct an objective and transparent review of research on programs and services intended to provide enhanced support to children and families and prevent foster care placements.
The Prevention Services Clearinghouse, developed in accordance with the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) as codified in Title IV-E of the Social Security Act, rates programs and services as well-supported, supported, promising, or does not currently meet criteria.
What's New
As of May 2024, the Prevention Services Clearinghouse has reviewed 177 programs and services; 85 of these have been rated as promising, supported, or well-supported.
New ratings are now available for the following programs and services:
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Adolescents
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Special Populations
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training for Emotional Problem Solving for Adolescents
- Prize Contingency Management
- Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy
- WISE Teens
We have also added the Washington State Kinship Navigator Program (Re-Review) to the working list of Programs and Services Planned for Review!
Visit our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page for a response to the new question: “Does the Prevention Services Clearinghouse have a minimum sample size requirement for studies to be eligible for review?”
We have updated the program area designations for Triple P – Positive Parenting Program – Online (Level 4), Triple P – Positive Parenting Program – Self-Directed (Level 4), and Triple P – Positive Parenting Program – Standard (Level 4).
What's Next
The Clearinghouse will continue to release ratings for programs and services on a rolling basis. To review a working list of the next programs and services planned for systematic review, visit our Programs and Services Planned for Review page.
