Publications
This page contains our reports to government and participating community organizations, as well as information on the randomized controlled trial we conducted on the Nurse-Family Partnership to prevent Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs. It also includes academic publications we have written for peer-reviewed journals.
For reports, each link provides a report summary and further links to short and full reports. For recent systematic research evidence about preventing and treating child mental health problems, please see our Quarterly publication, which tackles a different issue with each edition.
Please contact the Children’s Health Policy Centre if you would like more information about any of the articles.
