ACT Raising Safe Kids
ACT Raising Safe Kids (ACT) is a parenting and violence prevention program for adults who raise and care for children ages 0–8. The program aims to teach positive parenting skills and create healthy, nurturing environments where children are protected from violence and maltreatment.
Facilitators deliver ACT to groups of adults in nine sessions. During the first session, called a pre-program meeting, facilitators introduce parents to the goals of ACT and set expectations for the program. During each of the remaining sessions, facilitators provide education on a key parenting topic; lead activities related to the session topic, including role-play and group discussion; and give a homework assignment. Facilitators deliver the content sequentially and content is aimed at: (1) understanding child behavior and learning child development concepts, (2) understanding how young children are exposed to violence and the consequences of violence, (3) learning to control and manage parents’ own anger, (4) understanding and helping manage children’s anger, (5) understanding the impact of electronic media on children's behaviors and reducing media exposure, (6) developing effective discipline and parenting styles, (7) preventing challenging behaviors and using positive ways to discipline children, and (8) empowering participants to use what they have learned at home and in the community.
ACT is rated as a promising practice because at least one study achieved a rating of moderate or high on study design and execution and demonstrated a favorable effect on a target outcome.

Education, Certifications and Training
Facilitators must have at least an associate’s degree (bachelor’s degree preferred) in a field such as psychology, social work, counseling, health care, nursing, or education, as well as previous experience conducting adult group classes. Facilitators are required to participate in a 2-day in-person workshop led by an ACT Master Trainer. The workshop teaches participants about the ACT curriculum and gives them practice implementing the program. To become a certified ACT facilitator, trainees must then (1) facilitate one ACT group, (2) provide a recording of session six of this group to the ACT Master Trainer, (3) submit an annual action plan, (4) submit data related to activities conducted during the year after the training, and (5) submit a qualitative report of activities conducted during the year after the training.

Note: For the effect sizes and implied percentile effects reported in the table, a positive number favors the intervention group and a negative number favors the comparison group. Effect sizes and implied percentile effects were calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse as described in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0, Section 5.10.4 and may not align with effect sizes reported in individual publications. The Prevention Services Clearinghouse uses information reported in study documents and, when necessary, information provided by authors in response to author queries to assign study ratings and calculate effect sizes and statistical significance (see Section 7.3.2 in the Handbook of Standards and Procedures, Version 1.0). As a result, the effect sizes and statistical significance reported in the table may not align with the estimates as they are reported in study documents. Effect sizes for some outcomes were not able to be calculated by the Prevention Services Clearinghouse.
Only publications with eligible contrasts that met design and execution standards are included in the individual study findings table.
Full citations for the studies shown in the table are available in the "Studies Reviewed" section.
The participant characteristics display is an initial version. We encourage those interested in providing feedback to send suggestions to preventionservices@abtglobal.com.
The table below displays locations, the year, and participant demographics for studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution and that reported the information. Participant characteristics for studies with more than one intervention versus comparison group pair that received moderate or high ratings are shown separately in the table. Please note, the information presented here uses terminology directly from the study documents, when available. Studies that received moderate or high ratings on design and execution that did not include relevant participant demographic information would not be represented in this table.
For more information on how Clearinghouse reviewers record the information in the table, please see our Resource Guide on Study Participant Characteristics and Settings.
