This page provides access to information about evidence-based practices for achieving objectives for the Healthiest Wisconsin 2010 health priority "Intentional and Unintentional Injuries and Violence." Below you will see the objectives in the implementation plan for this priority.

Select an objective to see summary results of research on the effectiveness of various public health strategies (interventions) to achieve the objective. Note that for some objectives, no link is provided because a research summary has not yet been completed.

1. Prevention of Child Maltreatment 
   By 2010, there will be a 10 percent reduction in the number of children who are abused and neglected in Wisconsin as reported by the Department of Health Services and other appropriate governmental data sources.
