Ethical complexities of screening for depression and intimate partner violence (IPV) in intervention studies
Open AccessVictoria J Palmer, Jane Yelland et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011
The four principles have been subjected to criticisms in recent years but they remain prominent in public health and medical research. We provide a set of simple, interrogative questions that are narrative and relationally driven which may assist to further evaluate the potential impacts of using screening to identify eligible research participants in intervention studies. A narrative and relational based approach requires seeing people as situat…
The power of social connection and support in improving health
Open AccessRichard Small, Rhonda Small et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011
Examination of how social support has been conceptualised and enacted in interventions to date can be instructive in refining our thinking about the directions to be taken in future research. Despite implementation challenges, further development and evaluation of non-professional models of providing support to improve health is warranted

Intimate partner violence (IPV) creates a substantial burden of disease and significant costs to families, communities, and governments. Building the evidence for effective interventions to reduce violence and its sequelae requires increased use of economic evaluation to inform policy through the analysis of costs and potential savings of interventions.

Depression and termination of pregnancy (induced abortion) in a national cohort of young Australian women
Open AccessAngela Taft, Angela J Taft et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008
Violence, especially partner violence, makes a significantly greater contribution to women's depression compared with pregnancy termination or births. Any strategy to reduce the burden of women's depression should include prevention or reduction of violence against women and strengthening women's sexual and reproductive health to ensure that pregnancies are planned and wanted
Intimate partner violence in Vietnam and among Vietnamese diaspora communities in western societies
Angela Taft, Angela J Taft et al.ARTICLEJournal of Family Studies2008
Informal observations in Australian refuge/shelter services suggest that culturally and linguistically diverse women and children are over-represented in crisis rather than early intervention services. This observation includes Vietnamese women and children escaping intimate partner violence (IPV). There is limited research on the prevalence or characteristics of IPV in Vietnam or their diaspora that sheds light on the role played by immigration,…

We present a synthesis of the literature on the Transtheoretical Model of Behaviour and the Psychosocial Readiness to Change Model as applied to intimate partner violence. We describe the …
