Relevance and application of Teach-VIP

TEACH-VIP (Training, Educating and Advancing Collaboration in Health on Violence and Injury Prevention) was developed by the World Health Organization in response to the need for formal training materials and curriculum relating to violent injuries. The course is meant for utilization in diverse settings and by different nations to raise awareness among professionals about this public health issue. TEACH-VIP is designed so that the content can be customized to local scenarios and needs, to make it more locally relevant. This article examines the relevance and application of the course within the Indian setting. It focuses on three violence issues covered in TEACH-VIP: gender-based violence, child and adolescent sexual abuse and self-inflicted harm, reviewing evidence from local research studies, suggesting points for adaptation and highlighting the multiple stakeholder responses. Such local adaptations would serve the major objective of TEACH-VIP by facilitating the prevention of violence and injury through the training of a variety of personnel
