Primary Prevention Strategies for Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence
Course Description:
This course is based upon material published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is available on their website.
According to the summary:
Intimate partner and sexual violence affect a large proportion of the population – with the majority of those directly experiencing such violence being women and the majority perpetrating it being men. The harm they cause can last a lifetime and span generations, with serious adverse effects on health, education and employment. The primary prevention of these types of violence will therefore save lives and money – investments made now to stop intimate partner and sexual violence before they occur will protect the physical, mental and economic well-being and development of individuals, families, communities and whole societies. This document aims to provide sufficient information for policy-makers and planners to develop data-driven and evidence-based programs for preventing intimate partner and sexual violence against women and is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 3 summarizes the scientific evidence base for primary prevention strategies, and describes programs of known effectiveness, those supported by emerging evidence and those that could potentially be effective but have yet to be sufficiently evaluated for their impact.
Chapter 4 presents a six-step framework for taking action, generating evidence and sharing results. In the closing section, several future research priorities are outlined and a number of key conclusions drawn.
The evidence-based prevention of intimate partner and sexual violence is still in its early days and much remains to be accomplished. At present, only one strategy has evidence supporting its effectiveness – and this only relates to intimate partner violence. . . .
This course is an evidence based summation that reviews the risk and protective factors as well as evidence based practices for prevention.
This course on intimate partner and sexual violence is valuable for clinical social workers and psychologists, nurses, and professional counselors who do clinical work. This course is appropriate for beginning, intermediate and advanced level practitioners who wish to develop their understanding of intimate partner violence. It may also be useful for licensed clinicians who require continuing education courses in domestic violence or intimate partner violence for license renewal.
