Abstract
Purpose
This study sought to understand violence prevention educators’ experiences conducting prevention education during the COVID-19 pandemic including barriers, challenges, and lessons learned.
Methods
For this study, we interviewed 25 violence prevention educators from across the U.S. Qualitative content analysis was used to identify major categories from the interviews.
Results
The first set of categories concerns prevention education audiences and modes during the COVID-19 pandemic (Research Question 1). The second set of categories focuses on barriers and challenges to violence prevention education during the pandemic (Research Question 2). The final set of categories discusses lessons learned by prevention educators during the COVID-19 pandemic (Research Question 3).
Conclusions
Findings from the study highlight both the barriers violence prevention educators faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and participants’ resiliency in working to overcome these barriers, including lessons learned for future violence prevention efforts. These findings suggest that some elements of prevention education implemented during the pandemic, such as virtual education and social media usage, may benefit current and future prevention education.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Family Violence (JOFV) is a peer-reviewed publication committed to the dissemination of rigorous research on preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence. JOFV welcomes scholarly articles related to the broad categories of child abuse and maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, and elder abuse. Within these categories, JOFV emphasizes research on physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and homicides that occur in families. Studies on families in all their various forms and diversities are welcome. JOFV publishes studies using quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods involving the collection of primary data. Rigorous systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical analyses are also welcome. To help advance scientific understandings of family violence, JOFV is especially interested in research using transdisciplinary perspectives and innovative research methods. Because family violence is a global problem requiring solutions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, JOFV strongly encourages submissions from scholars worldwide from all disciplines and backgrounds.
