Expect Respect Support Groups
Expect Respect support groups, a selective prevention strategy, are designed to prevent and reduce dating violence among at-risk middle and high school students. This preliminary, uncontrolled evaluation examined changes in healthy relationship skills and emotionally and physically abusive behaviors in participants' peer and dating relationships. Self-reports (N = 144) showed significant increases in healthy relationship skills from baseline to p…
Navigating the Road Ahead
Public health is currently faced with an array of critical challenges and disconnects. Research and evaluation have identified a number of evidence‐based strategies for effecting behavior change at individual, group, organizational, and environmental levels, all of which hold promise for leading to substantial reductions in morbidity and mortality, and increased quality of life. Unfortunately, there is huge variability across the public health sy…
Developing Teen Dating Violence Prevention Strategies
Intimate partner violence (IPV) peaks in youth and young adulthood and is associated with multiple adolescent risk behaviors and negative health outcomes. Targeting youth with prevention messages before they start dating may avert teen dating violence and subsequent adult IPV. This article discusses findings from focus groups with middle school youth to determine behaviors and beliefs regarding dating violence. To develop effective prevention mes…
Research and Action for Bridging Science and Practice in Prevention
There is a well‐known gap between science and practice. To address this gap in the areas of Child Maltreatment (CM) and Youth Violence (Y/V), the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) embarked on a Dissemination/Implementation (D/I) planning project. The project was aimed at identifying better ways to connect research and practice through reviews of the literature as well as through discussi…
Bridging Science and Practice in Violence Prevention
This article illustrates ideas for bridging science and practice generated during the Division of Violence Prevention's (DVP) dissemination/implementation planning process. The difficulty of moving what is known about what works into broader use is near universal, and this planning process pushed us to look beyond the common explanations (e.g., providers were resistant/unwilling to change practice) and think about the multiple layers and systems …
Bridging the Gap Between Prevention Research and Practice
If we keep on doing what we have been doing, we are going to keep on getting what we have been getting . Concerns about the gap between science and practice are longstanding. There is a need for new approaches to supplement the existing approaches of research to practice models and the evolving community‐centered models for bridging this gap. In this article, we present the Interactive Systems Framework for Dissemination and Implementation (ISF) …
Why Women Protest
Gender and the Politics of Needs
This study examines the ways in which gendered definitions of social provision in Costa Rica have created gaps in national health care programs that women's organizations are currently (and successfully) addressing. More specifically, I highlight how women's organizations are key actors in the politics of needs interpretation, wherein definitions of health needs are contested by policy makers, doctors, and women themselves. I argue that women's h…
Women against the state
Borrowing against the Future
One of the most important sociological issues today revolves around the global debt crisis. In response to this problem, the international financial community has pressured Third World countries to implement austerity policies (“structural adjustments”) designed to facilitate debt repayment. These policies have created profound hardship in many poor countries, especially among relatively vulnerable subpopulations such as children. In this article…
