  • Delivering an effective violence prevention intervention at scale

    Open AccessJodie Pearlman, Tvisha Nevatia et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Almost no evidence exists on effectively delivering school violence prevention interventions at scale. The Good School Toolkit (GST), developed by Uganda-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) Raising Voices, is an effective whole-school violence prevention intervention when delivered by NGO staff. This study aimed to determine whether GST, delivered via a scalable delivery model using Regional Resource Persons (RRPs), is effective in changing…

  • To what extent does Together with Gloria! expand the reach of Sasa! Together community programming? A mixed methods evaluation of an edutainment intervention in Kasese, Uganda

    Open AccessTanya Abramsky, Shaffa Hameed et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    TWG expanded overall reach of in-person SASA! Together programming, and reduced geographical disparities in access. Use of multiple radio-stations/broadcasting timeslots allowed many to listen despite competing time-commitments. Future revisions to broaden access and appeal could include communal broadcasts in public places, and the incorporation of characters and storylines to resonate with younger childless men

  • The Good School Toolkit–Secondary to prevent violence against students

  • Changing perspectives on corporal punishment in schools

    Open AccessJ Parkes, Daniel Carter et al.ARTICLEChildhood2025Referencias: 6

    This paper contributes to decolonising ways in which corporal punishment has been understood and represented in Africa, through engaging with the complex views of young Ugandans about corporal punishment in schools. Conceptualising time as non-linear, and violence as a web of power, our analysis of longitudinal, mixed method data traces how physical punishment functioned to maintain the generational order, and as a regulatory practice in schools.…

  • Sexual violence through corporal punishment

    Open AccessEllen Turner, Jenny Parkes et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2024

    Children experience significant violence from teachers and peers in schools. Growing evidence from low-and-middle-income country settings shows the potential for interventions in schools to reduce violence and improve school environments, however these tend to act in siloes and address particular subsets of violence. Further, little is known about how to prevent teacher sexual violence, a particularly sensitive form of violence. We conducted a qu…

  • Does disability modify the association between poor mental health and violence victimisation over adolescence? Evidence from the CoVAC cohort study in Uganda

    Open AccessDeborah J Carter, Charlie F M Pitcairn et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    We aimed to estimate the impact of poor mental health in early adolescence on subsequent poor mental health, depression, and violence victimisation in late adolescence and to determine whether young people living with disabilities experienced a stronger relationship between mental health and these outcomes. Data from two waves of a longitudinal cohort study of 2773 Ugandan adolescents were used to assess the impact of mental health difficulties i…

  • Associations between violence in childhood, depression and suicide attempts in adolescence

    Open AccessRebecca Akunzirwe, Deborah J Carter et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Findings highlight the importance of efforts to prevent violence and improve access to response and support services for violence and mental health for young people. Findings also underscore the important role friends and peer networks can play in mitigating the effects of violence as young people grow up

  • Violence outcomes in later adolescence with the Good School Toolkit-Primary

    Open AccessLouise Knight, Lydia Atuhaire et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

  • Adapting a complex violence prevention intervention

    Open AccessHeidi Grundlingh, N Kyegombe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Based on our experience, it was difficult to apply mechanistic models to clarify the intervention logic of the GST-P, a complex multicomponent intervention, and simpler methods may be sufficient. Our team had high levels of contextual knowledge before the adaptation, and formative research to understand the new target population provided only limited additional insight. In similar situations, a simplified approach to mapping the core intervention…

  • The association between violence victimization and subsequent unplanned pregnancy among adolescent girls in Uganda

    Open AccessKatherine G Merrill, Louise Knight et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    Violence victimization is a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy in high-income, low violence prevalence countries, but longitudinal data are lacking from settings where violence and adolescent pregnancy are common, including sub-Saharan Africa. We also know little about contextual factors which modify this association. We analyzed data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort (CoVAC) study in Luwero District, Uganda. Primary students …

  • Remote methods for research on violence against women and children

    Open AccessAmiya Bhatia, Ellen Turner et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2022

    Collecting data to understand violence against women and children during and after the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to inform violence prevention and response efforts. Although researchers across fields have pivoted to remote rather than in-person data collection, remote research on violence against women, children and young people poses particular challenges. As a group of violence researchers, we reflect on our experiences across eight studie…

  • Towards a feminist understanding of intersecting violence against women and children in the family

    Open AccessNamy, Sophie Namy et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2017Citada por: 23Referencias: 28

    While intimate partner violence (IPV) against women and violence against children (VAC) have emerged as distinct fields of research and programming, a growing number of studies demonstrate the extent to which these forms of violence overlap in the same households. However, existing knowledge of how and why such co-occurrence takes place is limited, particularly in the Global South. The current study aims to advance empirical and conceptual unders…

  • How did the Good School Toolkit reduce the risk of past week physical violence from teachers to students? Qualitative findings on pathways of change in schools in Luwero, Uganda

  • The Good School Toolkit for reducing physical violence from school staff to primary school students

    Open AccessKaren Devries, Karen M Devries et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet Global Health2015

    BACKGROUND: Violence against children from school staff is widespread in various settings, but few interventions address this. We tested whether the Good School Toolkit-a complex behavioural intervention designed by Ugandan not-for-profit organisation Raising Voices-could reduce physical violence from school staff to Ugandan primary school children. METHODS: We randomly selected 42 primary schools (clusters) from 151 schools in Luwero District, U…

  • Findings from the Sasa! Study

    Open AccessTanya Abramsky, Karen Devries et al.ARTICLEBMC Medicine2014

    BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV are important and interconnected public health concerns. While it is recognized that they share common social drivers, there is limited evidence surrounding the potential of community interventions to reduce violence and HIV risk at the community level. The SASA! study assessed the community-level impact of SASA!, a community mobilization intervention to prevent violence and reduce HIV-risk beha…

  • ‘Sasa! is the medicine that treats violence’. Qualitative findings on how a community mobilisation intervention to prevent violence against women created change in Kampala, Uganda

    Open AccessN Kyegombe, Elizabeth Starmann et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2014

    BACKGROUND: Intimate partner violence (IPV) violates women's human rights and is a serious public health concern. Historically strategies to prevent IPV have focussed on individuals and their relationships without addressing the context under which IPV occurs. Primary prevention of IPV is a relatively new focus of international efforts and what SASA!, a phased community mobilisation intervention, seeks to achieve. METHODS: Conducted in Kampala, U…
