Filter by:Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a major health concern for women Veterans. IPV is associated with numerous physical and mental health conditions. VHA is implementing IPV screening programs to identify female patients who experience past-year IPV. Despite strong evidence that screening increases detection of IPV, less is established about how to intervene following IPV disclosure in health care settings, in order to improve health outcomes. Existing healthcare-based interventions result in minimal effects on health and well-being, likely because they are too brief and generic. In response, the PI has developed Recovering from IPV through Strengths and Empowerment (RISE), based on the IPV-related health care needs and preferences of women Veterans. RISE is designed to be delivered in primary care and is an individualized, variable-length, modular-based intervention that addresses - safety planning; - education on the health effects of IPV and warning signs; - increasing coping skills and self-care; - enhancing social support; - making difficult decisions; and - connecting with resources. This study is aimed at refining and evaluating RISE for use with female VA patients who have experienced past-year IPV. This brief counseling intervention is intended to be administered in conjunction with primary care, as this is a frequent point of healthcare contact for women Veterans and where disclosure of IPV is most prevalent.
The proposed project seeks to implement a cluster-randomized controlled trial (RCT) to measure the impact of increasing women´s incomes and providing gender equality trainings on women´s empowerment and risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) in Colombia. This project will be the first in Latin America to evaluate rigorously the impact of a marketing intervention, alone and combined with IPV prevention training. The knowledge generated from this evaluation has the potential to identify the most effective solutions to empower women, as well as to drive transformative change in current approaches to reduce IPV and promote gender equality in highly vulnerable populations in Colombia, and worldwide.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of Safe South Africa, an integrated intervention for preventing HIV and Intimate Partner Violence perpetration for male adolescents 15-17 years of age.
This study will develop and test a web-based intervention to enhance emotion regulation skills and parent-son relationship communication to decrease adolescent boys' risk for dating violence involvement as well as attitudes supporting relationship aggression.
The proposed stage 1 intervention development study is designed to address two significant co-occurring issues for fathers with substance abuse (SA) problems: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and child maltreatment (CM). SA treatment programs are an important avenue to reduce family violence because SA treatment alone does not result in an end to these behaviors. Currently available interventions have had little success in reducing male IPV. Fathers for Change, an integrated outpatient intervention, shows promise as an intervention model targeting the intersection of SA, IPV, and CM. The intervention uses men's roles as fathers as a motivation for change and targets factors that are known to trigger SA, IPV and CM: hostile cognitions and poor emotion regulation. An intervention of this sort has not been integrated and tested as part of a residential substance abuse program for men. This project is a pilot study of 60 fathers randomly assigned to Fathers for Change or a Parent Education Program (PE) comparison. The initial feasibility of the Fathers for Change will be assessed by comparing it to PE in the areas of: participant completion rates, hostile cognitions, emotion regulation, SA relapse, IPV, and CM risk behaviors (negative parenting). Change in hostile cognitions and emotion regulation will be examined as the mechanisms through which Fathers for Change reduces relapse, IPV and CM risk behaviors.
Lifetime sexual trauma (ST) (i.e., behaviors that range from unwanted sexual touching to attempted or completed rape) is a significant social and public health problem among women Veterans. For women Veterans, lifetime ST can occur prior to, during or after military service. ST is associated with multiple difficulties and risks, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intimate partner violence (IPV), and alcohol misuse. Providing an effective, integrated, and low-cost intervention that targets ST-related risks for women Veterans with lifetime ST would advance clinical care for these vulnerable women. This research will develop and assess a computer-delivered intervention (Safety and Health Experiences Program; SHE) that will provide a screening and brief behavior intervention for women Veterans with any lifetime ST. More specifically, the intervention, SHE, will address interrelated health concerns for women Veterans with ST (i.e. alcohol misuse, IPV, and PTSD). SHE will be designed to provide individualized assessment, feedback, and referrals for women Veterans with any lifetime ST. SHE will take place within a primary care setting. Primary care visits are frequent points of health care contact for women Veterans making the visit itself the ideal, and possibly only, opportunity to provide behavioral interventions. This study will lay the groundwork for a larger clinical trial of the SHE program in multiple VA primary care settings. If effective, the intervention, SHE, represents an innovative and low cost service for early identification and intervention that could be implemented nationwide with ease and speed to address the needs of women Veterans with lifetime ST. The long-term goal of the project is to make a significant impact on advancing health services research by introducing and testing a novel and potentially powerful service tool that may improve service delivery to address the co-occurring health concerns for women Veterans with any lifetime ST.
Introduction: Change Starts at Home (Change) is a multi-component social behavior change communication and community engagement strategy designed to prevent intimate partner violence (IPV), a significant public health issue in Nepal and throughout the world. Methods and analysis: The study uses a concurrent mixed-methods design. The quantitative aspect of the evaluation is a pair-matched, repeated cross-sectional 2-armed, single-blinded cluster trial (RCT: N=36 clusters, 1440 individuals), comparing a social behavior change communication (SBCC) strategy to radio programming alone for its impact on physical and / or sexual IPV at the end of programming (12 months' post-baseline) and 6-months post the cessation of project activities (24-months post baseline). The qualitative aspects of the design include several longitudinal approaches to understand the impact of the intervention and examine mechanisms of change including in-depth interviews with participants (N=18 couples), and focus group discussions with community leaders (N=3 groups), and family members of participants (N=12 groups). Treatment effects will be estimated with generalized logistic mixed models specified to compare differences in primary outcome from baseline to follow-up, and baseline to 24-months post following intention-to-treat principles.
A total of around 351.500 consecutive patients admitted to Dep. of Trauma Surgery, Medical University Vienna, from 01/2008 to 12/2015 have been considered eligible for inclusion. Out of this patient population a total of 1.406 cases associated with IPV have been consecutively and prospectively included in our in-house screening service for IPV cases. Data collection was performed prospectively and statistical evaluation was performed retrospectively, approved by local IRB (1453/2016).
The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of Engaging Men in Accountable Practice (EMAP) on the prevention of violence against women and girls in North and South Kivu (DRC). The study is conducted jointly by the World Bank's Africa Gender Innovation Lab and the International Rescue Committee (IRC). EMAP is a program developed and implemented by the IRC to engage men to reflect on how to reduce and prevent intimate partner violence through 16 weekly group discussion sessions. The study is a cluster randomized control trial in which two groups of 25 self-selected men in 15 communities receive the EMAP intervention while in 15 other communities, 50 self-selected men receive an alternative intervention. Key outcomes examined include: (i) Experience of past year physical, sexual and psychological violence reported by women whose partners are EMAP participants; (ii) Participant's gender attitudes and behaviors, conflict and hostility management skills; (iii) Power sharing and communication within the couple.
This study developed and assessed an innovative, high-reach, easily implementable, low-cost computer-delivered intervention (Safe and Healthy Experiences; The SHE Program) that addresses known barriers in early identification and intervention with sheltered battered women with IPV (intimate partner violence) and substance use.
