Characteristics of Child Fatalities that Occur in the Context of Current or Past Intimate Partner Violence
The State of Intimate Partner Violence Research in the Community College Context
I never realized how hard recovery is.” A quasi‐experimental evaluation of a youth participatory action research project for opioid prevention
Youth participatory action research (YPAR) has been effectively used for substance use prevention. Yet, YPAR has not been evaluated for opioids, which negatively impact individuals and communities across the United States. The current study evaluated an opioid‐focused YPAR project. YPAR participants ( n = 28) completed a pre‐ and post‐survey capturing psychological empowerment and opioid knowledge and behavior. A non‐YPAR comparison group ( n = 1…
A Call for Sexual and Relationship Violence Bystander Intervention Approaches for Adults who Work with Youth
The Power of Language to Transform Efforts to Address Intimate Partner Violence
Language has the power to mobilize communities and spark intervention development. Language also can cause harm and stymie intervention innovation. Building Healthy Relationships to End Violence, one of the Grand Challenges for Social Work, prompts us to consider the language we use to address interpersonal violence and related interventions. Through the lens of healing-centered engagement, this article analyzes evolving language about intimate p…
Aggressive behaviors in urban African American early adolescent girls
Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships to Implement and Evaluate Sexual and Relationship Violence Prevention Programs for Boys and Men
Although male-focused sexual and relationship violence (SRV) prevention programs are widely promulgated, limited guidance concerning how programs should be implemented for rigorous evaluation exists. To help develop evidence for such guidance, this paper reports on 20 interviews with leaders at youth-serving community-based organizations (CBOs) and educational institutions, which are sites for male-focused SRV prevention programs. This study exam…
Examining Intimate Partner Violence-Related Fatalities
Explanatory Theories of Intimate Partner Homicide Perpetration
Theories play an important role in guiding intimate partner homicide (IPH) prevention research and practice. This study is the first systematic review of theories employed to explain why someone might kill their intimate partner. This review used rigorous methods to locate and synthesize literature that described explanatory theories of IPH perpetration. Using set search terms, we systematically searched 15 databases and repositories for theory-f…
Intimate partner violence victimization and perpetration as precursors to suicide
It remains unclear how often and under what circumstances intimate partner violence (IPV) precedes suicide. Available research on IPV and suicide focuses largely on homicide-suicide, which is a rare event (<2% of suicides). We focus instead on single suicides (i.e., suicides unconnected to other violent deaths), which are the most common type of fatal violence in the US. Unfortunately, information about IPV circumstances is often unavailable for …
Childhood Maltreatment and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Adulthood
Evaluations of Prevention Programs for Sexual, Dating, and Intimate Partner Violence for Boys and Men
Among violence prevention educators and researchers, there is growing interest in sexual, dating, and intimate partner violence (SV/DV/IPV) prevention programs for males because of evidence showing that boys and men are more likely than girls and women to perpetrate SV as well as more severe forms of DV/IPV. To date, comprehensive guidance on the content, structure, delivery, and effectiveness of such programs is limited. We reviewed randomized c…
The Validity and Reliability of Available Intimate Partner Homicide and Reassault Risk Assessment Tools
At least one in seven homicides around the world is perpetrated by intimate partners. The danger of intimate partner homicide (IPH) associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) has led to the development of numerous IPV reassault and IPH risk assessment tools. Using 18 electronic databases and research repositories, we conducted a systematic review of IPH or IPV reassault risk assessment instruments. After review, 43 studies reported in 42 art…
Gender Matters
The social work grand challenge to ensure healthy youth development necessarily involves a focus on violence prevention, including the prevention of sexual and dating violence during adolescence. The experience of sexual and dating violence is associated with numerous and often long-lasting detrimental mental, physical, and social outcomes, many of which this grand challenge seeks to prevent. Although evidence shows that gender is a critical axis…
Trafficking and Health
Trafficking in persons (TIP) is a human rights violation with serious public health consequences. Unfortunately, assessing TIP and its health sequelae rigorously and reliably is challenging due to TIP’s clandestine nature, variation in definitions of TIP, and the need to use research methods that ensure studies are ethical and feasible. To help guide practice, policy, and research to assess TIP and health, we undertook a systematic literature rev…
Yoga for Trauma and Related Mental Health Problems
Health and human service providers have expressed growing interest in the benefits of yoga to help individuals cope with the effects of trauma, including anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Despite the growing popularity and strong appeal of yoga, providers must be mindful of the evidence regarding the efficacy of yoga in treating trauma effects as well as trauma-related mental health symptoms and illnesses. Therefore, …
Interpersonal Violence Prevention and Response on College and University Campuses
Substantiated Reports of Sexual Abuse among Latinx Children
National profile of Latino/Latina children reported to the child welfare system for sexual abuse
Identifying Domestic and International Sex-Trafficking Victims During Human Service Provision
Children, youth, and adults of both genders are sex trafficked into and throughout the United States every day. Regrettably, little attention has been given to how human service providers might identify the sex-trafficking victims they are likely to encounter. To address this knowledge gap, the authors review 20 documents with the aim of detecting and synthesizing service identification recommendations in the scientific literature, government rep…
