  • Exploring the Links Between Components of Coordinated Community Responses and Their Impact on Contact With Intimate Partner Violence Services

    Open AccessJoanne Klevens, Charlene K Baker et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2008Cited by: 10References: 3

    In the 1990s, concerns with response fragmentation for intimate partner violence (IPV) led to the promotion of coordinated community responses (CCRs) to prevent and control IPV. Evaluation of CCRs has been limited. A previous evaluation of 10 CCRs funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed no overall impact on rates of IPV when compared to matched communities. However, there was great variability in the quality and quantity o…

  • Latino Teens Talk About Help Seeking and Help Giving in Relation to Dating Violence

    Open AccessBeverly Weidmer Ocampo, Gene A Shelley et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2007Cited by: 11References: 8

    The authors examine attitudes about help seeking and help giving related to dating violence among Latino ninth graders, including survey and focus group data. Latino teens are more likely to seek help for a dating violence situation from informal sources of support (e.g., friends) than from formal sources (e.g., health professionals). Students are most likely to turn to other teens for help and do not confide or trust the adults in their social n…

  • Latinos’ Perspectives and Experiences With Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessJoanne Klevens, Gene A Shelley et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2007Cited by: 5References: 5

    This qualitative study, utilizing focus group interviews with community members and in-depth interviews with victims and perpetrators, explored Latinos' beliefs and perceptions of IPV in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, as a basis for developing culturally appropriate intimate partner violence (IPV) services for this population. The findings from these interviews suggest that this community recognizes IPV as a problem and is aware of the multiple dimensi…

  • Who Knows Your HIV Status II

    Gene A Shelley, Peter D Killworth et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization2006

    We seek to explain on what basis people choose to tell stigmatizing information about themselves to others. In particular, are there any rules governing how such decisions are made? We asked 70 HIV-positive individuals whether they knew various items of knowledge about their network members, and vice versa. These items range from things which might be known easily (e.g., marital status), things which are more difficult to know (e.g., blood type),…

  • Challenges in the Evaluation and Implementation of School-Based Prevention and Intervention Programs on Sensitive Topics

    The current emphasis on best practices for school-based health and mental health programs brings with it the demand for evaluation efforts in schools. This article describes the challenges of launching a successful school program and evaluation, with lessons learned from three projects that focus on intimate partner violence. The authors discuss issues related to constraints on the research design in schools, the recruitment of schools and partic…

  • Investigating the Variation of Personal Network Size Under Unknown Error Conditions

    Open AccessPeter D Killworth, C Mccarty et al.ARTICLESociological Methods & Research2006Cited by: 4References: 34

    This article estimates the variation in personal network size, using respondent data containing two systematic sources of error. The data are the proportion of respondents who, on average, claim to know zero, one, and two people in various subpopulations, such as “people who are widows under the age of 65” or “people who are diabetics.” The two kinds of error—transmission error (respondents are unaware that someone in their network is in a subpop…

    Objective: This article describes the development, factor structure, concurrent validity, and predictive validity of the Safe At Home instrument, a 35-item self-report measure designed for social work assessment of individuals' readiness to change their intimate partner violence behaviors. Method: Multisite data (five sites, a total of 1,359 men at intake) addressed questions concerning instrument properties. Results: Initial exploratory factor a…

  • Comparing Two Methods for Estimating Network Size

    C Mccarty, Peter D Killworth et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization2001

    In this paper we compare two methods for estimating the size of personal networks using a nationally representative sample of the United States. Both methods rely on the ability of respondents to estimate the number of people they know in specific subpopulations of the U.S. (e.g., diabetics, Native Americans) and people in particular relation categories (e.g., immediate family, coworkers). The results demonstrate a remarkable similarity between t…

  • Survivors' Identification of Protective Factors and Early Warning Signs for Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessLynn M Short, Pamela M McMahon et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2000Cited by: 10References: 2

    An exploratory, qualitative study generated hypotheses about women in violent heterosexual relationships: reasons women stay, what helps end the violence, barriers, potential early warning signs, resources, racial differences, and location differences. Twenty-two focus groups of urban and rural African American and White women in five U.S. regions were convened. Participants were at least 18 years of age, had experienced physical violence in inti…
