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 March 2024, the Prevention Services Clearinghouse has reviewed 169 programs and services; 80 of these have been rated as promising, supported, or well-supported.
The Prevention Services Clearinghouse has added information about study settings and participant characteristics for studies rated moderate or high on design and execution. Explore Programs and Services Reviewed to view these updates! For more information, see the Resource Guide on Study Participant Characteristics and Settings.
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.
