Exploring the Use of an Augmented Reality Device Learning Tool for Multidisciplinary Staff Training on Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence: Postintervention Qualitative Evaluation

According to the UK Government, all behaviors, inflicted on anyone perceived to be of a controlling, coercive, harmful, or sexual nature can be defined as DA or sexual violence (SV) [10]. Whilst the majority of survivors of DA are women [2], it is important that we do not neglect the experiences of those from the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community, who are also more vulnerable to familial abuse and honor-based violence [11].

A Digital Parenting Intervention With Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Content: Quantitative Pre-Post Pilot Study

Violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) are global issues with severe, long-lasting consequences, which affect individuals and communities worldwide. Global reports have revealed alarmingly high rates of both forms of violence [1,2]. Prevalence estimates of intimate partner violence (IPV), which is the most common form of VAW, have found that >27% of ever-partnered women aged >15 years have experienced physical IPV, sexual IPV, or both at least once in their life [1].

Identifying and Validating Alcohol Diagnostics for Injury-Related Trauma in South Africa: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study

Studies from sub-Saharan Africa have highlighted the impact of alcohol on injury and violence [5-8] and concerns over alcohol consumption and alcohol-attributable burden of disease. The lack of attention alcohol-related harm receives from policy makers has been raised [9,10], with calls for stronger and more effective alcohol control measures.

Early Results of an Initiative to Assess Exposure to Firearm Violence in Ambulatory Care: Descriptive Analysis of Electronic Health Record Data

While millions of children and adults are estimated to have experienced primary or secondary exposure to firearm violence (direct witness of firearm violence or the acute aftermath), there is no standardized data collection system to support surveillance of this public health problem [10-12]. As a result, pathways, risk factors, and intervention strategies following exposure to firearm violence are poorly understood [13].

Systematic Violence Monitoring to Reduce Underreporting and to Better Inform Workplace Violence Prevention Among Health Care Workers: Before-and-After Prospective Study

Second, the negative correlation between survey participation rate and reported violence prevalence [7] suggests the presence of self-selection bias. Finally, the retrospective evaluation of violence and the lack of a clear standardized definition of violence increase the risk of recall bias and measurement error [4,5,7,8].
