Strengthening military and veteran couple relationships
This rapid review examined evidence on the effectiveness of couple relationship education (CRE) in strengthening military couple relationships. It sourced published evaluations of programs adapted for, or delivered to, current or ex‐serving military personnel and their partners within Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the USA, between January 2010 and June 2024. Relationship outcomes examined include couple relationship satisfaction, qua…
Impacts of adolescent participation in a mental health education, leadership, and advocacy program (the Live4Life Crew) on outcomes after leaving secondary school in Victoria, Australia
A key component of the Live4Life program, run by not-for-profit entity Youth Live4Life, is a ‘Crew’ of youth mental health ambassadors aged 14–16 years who undergo a mental health education, leadership, and advocacy program. Building on past evaluations, this study explores the impacts of Live4LifeCrew participation on their lives after leaving secondary school. This study describes the impacts of Crew participation on alumni's health, wellbeing,…
What Are the Mechanisms Underpinning Intergenerational Transmission of Violence Perpetration? A Realist Review
Successive generations are more likely to carry out acts of violence in households where an individual has either perpetrated or been subjected to violence. While research to date has mostly concentrated on direct associations between violence experience or perpetration in generation 1 and violence perpetration in generation 2, there is limited evidence regarding the underlying mechanisms of the transmission of intergenerational violence perpetra…
Measuring Violence Against Children
Valid, meaningful, and reliable adult retrospective measures of violence against children (VAC) are essential for establishing the prevalence, risk factors, and long-term effects of VAC. We aim to summarize the available evidence on the psychometric properties of adult retrospective VAC measures and to provide evidence-based recommendations for appropriate measure selection. We searched six electronic databases and gray literature for studies tha…
An Application of Evidence‐Based Approaches to Engage Young People in the Design of a Global Mental Health Databank
INTRODUCTION: Engaging youth in mental health research and intervention design has the potential to improve their relevance and effectiveness. Frameworks like Roger Hart's ladder of participation, Shier's pathways to participation and Lundy's voice and influence model aim to balance power between youth and adults. Hart's Ladder, specifically, is underutilized in global mental health research, presenting new opportunities to examine power dynamics…
Unpacking School-Based Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Programs
Background: Existing efforts to understand school-based child sexual abuse (CSA) prevention programs mainly focus on the effectiveness of these programs in increasing participants’ CSA knowledge and self-protective skills. There are currently no reviews addressing the underpinning pathways leading to these outcomes. In order to increase our understanding about the underpinning causal and contextual factors and inform the further development of sc…
Measuring Violence Against Children
Research on violence against children (VAC) requires meaningful, valid, and reliable self-report by children. Many instruments have been used globally and decisions to select suitable measures are complex. This review identifies child and adolescent self-report measures that are most likely to yield valid, reliable, and comparable data in this field. A systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD4201706) was conducted using the 2018 Consensus-based Standards…
Adolescents’ Experiences of Participating in Sensitive Research
Despite an increasing emphasis on adolescents’ participation rights, there are concerns about their participation in research on sensitive topics, such as trauma and violence. This review reports findings of a scoping review that examined the nature and extent of qualitative studies conducted with adolescents about their experiences of participating in research on sensitive topics. Studies were identified by searching electronic databases and gre…
