Identifying and selecting outcome measures for the children and families domestic abuse core outcome set
This work is the next step toward the development of a child and family-focused DA-COS, that we hope will enable co-ordinated outcome measurement within and between practice and research. Further work is needed to adapt and evaluate the selected OMI as well as to develop a new tool to measure freedom to go about daily life . Work is needed to support the implementation of the DA-COS, ensure its applicability to families with diverse needs or from…
Attending to Power
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. Research suggests that many physicians lack knowledge and skills to adequately respond to patients experiencing IPV. In order to better integrate physicians' contributions into intersectoral responses to IPV, we asked stakeholders with expertise and experience related to IPV about the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors they wanted them…
The Family-Check-Up® Autism Implementation Research (Fair) Study
Introduction Prevalence rates of emotional and behavior problems (EBP) in autistic children and youth are high (40–70%), and often cause severe and chronic impairment. Furthermore, autistic children are also more likely to experience family “social-ecological” adversity compared to neurotypically developing peers, including social isolation, child maltreatment, caregiver mental illness, and socioeconomic risk. These family stressors increase the …
A Qualitative Exploratory Case Study of the Safe Doors, Safe Homes Intervention for Intimate Partner Violence Prevention in the Canadian Context
This study provides insights into potential barriers and facilitators for implementing the SDSH intervention in the Canadian context. This knowledge is pivotal for informing adaptations that align with survivors' unique needs, ensuring the success and safety of ongoing IPV prevention efforts. These findings establish a foundation for advancing the SDSH intervention conceptually and practically, offering valuable considerations for refining IPV in…
Consequences of vicarious traumatization among mental health service providers with a history of child maltreatment
Prevalence of maltreatment, especially emotional abuse and neglect, is high in the MHP population and may contribute to ongoing vulnerability to STS, CF, and VT. Childhood exposure to sexual abuse could have implications for MHPs' own intimate relationships. Studies with sample sizes capable of explicating the role of each type of child maltreatment for STS, CF, or VT among MHPs are needed. In addition, it would be prudent to regularly collect da…
Indigenous Cultural Safety in Recognizing and Responding to Family Violence
This systematic scoping review synthesizes the recommended approaches for providing culturally safe family violence interventions to Indigenous peoples in health care and social service settings. A total of 3783 sources were identified through our electronic database searches, hand-searching of Indigenous-focused journals, and backward and forward citation chaining. After screening those sources in duplicate, 28 papers were included for synthesis…
A Qualitative Description of Resident Physicians’ Understanding of Child Maltreatment
Child maltreatment (CM) is a public health problem with devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. Resident physicians have varied formal education in CM, and report feeling inadequately trained in identifying and responding to CM. The purpose of this study is to explore residents' understanding of the impacts of CM, and their perceptions of their role in recognizing and responding to CM to better understand their educational …
Indigenous Service Provider Perspectives of an Online Education Module to Support Safe Clinical Encounters about Family Violence in Canada
Given colonial genocide, Indigenous peoples are rightfully reticent to disclose their experiences of family violence to practitioners working within mainstream health care and social services. Health care and social service providers (HSSPs) have varied formal education on providing trauma-and-violence informed care to Indigenous and non-Indigenous families affected by family violence, including intimate partner violence and child maltreatment. T…
Adolescent health outcomes
Experiencing both CM and PV substantially increases the odds of poor health outcomes among adolescents, and moderating relationships affect females and males differently. Continued research is needed to develop effective prevention strategies and to examine protective factors that may mitigate these adverse health outcomes, including potential sex differences
Conceptualizing Physicians’ Roles in Addressing Intimate Partner Violence
Resources addressing intimate partner violence (IPV) play a role in shaping how physicians conceptualize and perform their roles in caring for affected patients. This study combines environmental scanning with critical discourse analysis (CDA) to parse how roles of physicians were represented in 28 education materials and policy documents about IPV, taking the Canadian training milieu as an example. We developed a cyclical model of three core phy…
The trajectories of depressive symptoms among working adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
The negative mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are specific to subgroups within the population and stressors may persist and worsen over time. Providing access to evidence-informed approaches that foster adaptive coping, alleviate the depressive symptoms, and promote the mental health of working adults is critical
Recognizing and Responding to Child Maltreatment
Child maltreatment encompasses a constellation of adverse parental behaviors that include physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, physical or emotional neglect, as well as exposure to violence between parents. A growing body of literature indicates that exposure to child maltreatment is a significant risk factor for the development and maintenance of eating disorders (EDs) and that practitioners experience challenges related to recognizing and resp…
Examining the relationships between parent experiences and youth self-reports of slapping/spanking
It may be important to consider parent/primary caregiver's childhood experiences with victimization and maltreatment along with their current parental mental health, substance use and family circumstances when developing and testing strategies to prevent slapping/spanking
The association between child exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) and perpetration of IPV in adulthood—A systematic review
Mandated reporters’ experiences with reporting child maltreatment
OBJECTIVE: To systematically search for research about the effectiveness of mandatory reporting of child maltreatment and to synthesise qualitative research that explores mandated reporters' (MRs) experiences with reporting. DESIGN: As no studies assessing the effectiveness of mandatory reporting were retrieved from our systematic search, we conducted a meta-synthesis of retrieved qualitative research. Searches in Medline (Ovid), Embase, PsycINFO…
Adolescent Body Image Distortion
The associations between sex, immigrant status, immigrant concentration and intimate partner violence
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is an important public health concern, yet little is known about the combined effects of individual- and neighbourhood-level characteristics on IPV among immigrants. The aim of this study is to examine: (1) the association between immigrant status and IPV victimisation and whether sex modifies this association, and (2) the association between the neighbourhood concentration of immigrants and IPV victimisation, and …
