Filter by:The project is designed to assess Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and test a parenting intervention in pediatric primary care.
To determine if a brief primary care intervention can educate under-resourced and minority parents about discipline in a way that is culturally sensitive.
The translation study aims to refine and package intervention and training materials essential to translating an efficacious Emergency Department (ED) based Brief Intervention (BI) for violence (SafERteens) for two delivery methods: by ED staff on site or by therapist remotely. The study will take place in two phases. During the Effectiveness phase, we will determine the effectiveness of the interventions [on-site therapist delivered BI + text messages (n=133); remote therapy delivered BI + text messages (n=133)], as compared to a usual care control (brochure; n=133), on violence outcomes at 3 months. Note that tailored text messages will be delivered daily for the first month post-discharge, and three times per week in the second month post-discharge to the BI groups. During the Implementation phase, components of the RE-AIM model will be assessed over a 4-month period.
This study is a school-based cluster randomized trial of the 7th grade version of Fourth R, a promising teen dating violence prevention program, with 24 ethnically diverse middle schools (12 intervention schools, 12 control schools) in one of the nation's largest school districts. Students (N = 3,375) will be the unit of analysis and studied prospectively (baseline, [post-intervention], and annually for 3 years) to determine the impact of the program by comparing students in intervention schools with those in control schools.
Female sex workers (FSWs) frequently experience violence from their intimate partners (non-paying lovers), which compromises their health and increases their the risk of infection with HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. Samdevena Plus is a complex multi-level intervention that works with FSWs, their intimate partners, the sex worker community and the general population. The intervention aims to reduce partner violence and increase consistent condom use within these relationships. The intervention consists of: (i) couples counselling sessions between FSWs and their intimate partners; (ii) separate group work among FSWs and intimate partners to increase self-esteem and encourage reflection about violence; (iii) strengthening supportive crisis management systems that address domestic and sex worker violence; (iv) training male 'champions' to encourage action against violence; and (v) training media to promote informed discussions about violence and HIV risk.The program involves changing perceptions on acceptability of physical violence as a form of discipline, challenging assumptions that give men authority over women, and working with men and women to encourage new relationship models based on equality and respect. The intervention will reach 800 FSWs and their intimate partners living in 47 villages in north Karnataka, India. The evaluation uses a cluster-randomized control trial design that introduces the intervention into half of villages for the first 24 months and the remaining half receive the intervention thereafter. The primary outcomes of the trial are: the proportion of FSWs who report: i) consistent condom use in their intimate relationship; and ii) experiencing partner violence within the past 6 months.
This pilot study will evaluate a computer-based intervention titled "Trauma-informed Personalized Scripts" (TIPS). The goal of this intervention is to improve patient-provider communication about sensitive topics such as intimate partner violence (IPV) and reproductive coercion (RC). The main aim of this study is to pilot test TIPS in family planning clinics using a randomized study design to compare the basic version of TIPS (a computer-based assessment with provider scripts only) to an enhanced TIPS containing a tailored brief intervention for patients along with provider scripts. The investigators plan to recruit 240 female patients ages 16-29 for this study.
It was realized a case study in a batterer intervention program, where 86 men accepted to participate. It was used the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Follow up questionnaire, adapted to be used in Brazil.
Girls in the juvenile justice system are at high risk for dating violence exposure as well as co-occurring problems with delinquency and sexual risk taking. Despite the multitude of negative outcomes associated with dating violence, no evidence-based preventive interventions exist for juvenile justice girls. This study will advance scientific knowledge by testing the efficacy of a promising, skills-based intervention (Date SMART) on reducing dating violence, delinquency and sexual risk outcomes for a broad range of court-involved, non-incarcerated girls.
The project will utilize a quasi-experimental design to examine the effectiveness of a community-level, three-year social norming campaign aimed at changing norms of violence among youth 10-24, with West Louisville (WL) as the intervention community and East Nashville, Tennessee as the control community. The project will address the following research questions (RQs): RQ1: To what extent is a social norming campaign effective in changing the descriptive and injunctive norms of violence among youth in WL? RQ2: To what extent are the descriptive and injunctive norms of violence among youth in WL related to violent behavior (by type)? RQ3: To what extent is a social norming campaign effective in reducing population rates of youth violence in WL? RQ4: Which forms of media are most effective in reaching youth of different ages with campaign messages? RQ5: How is community readiness related to implementation of a community-level social norming campaign? RQ6: How is community capacity related to implementation of a community-level social norming campaign? RQ7: How does community capacity to address youth violence change over time with the implementation of a community-level social norming campaign? RQ8: To what extent is a social norming campaign cost-effective in reducing incidents of serious violence among youth?
This study seeks to assess the impact of the MenCare+/Bandebereho fathers'/couples' group education intervention on men's attitudes towards, and participation in, sexual and reproductive health, maternal, newborn and child health, and equitable and non-violent relationships with their children and partners.
