Abstract: The proposed descriptive study will describe and document the ways in which the tribal grantees create and adapt culturally relevant and appropriate approaches, systems, and programs to increase coordination and enhance service delivery to address child abuse and neglect. In addition, the study will document the challenges faced and lessons learned. The information developed through the study will be of value to ACF, the grantees, and a range of stakeholders working with and serving tribal communities, particularly those addressing prevention and reduction of child abuse and neglect.
