This scoping review aims to explore emerging complexities in current academic understandings of deepfake in relation to its use in gender-based violence. The review considers how these issues impact and shape what is currently known about deepfakes in relation to OVAW. Articles were collected between July and September 2024 and then filtered drawing on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Review guidelines. Six research databases were searched using 12 search terms compiled by three of the article authors. This resulted in a total number of 3148 articles that were filtered to identify 397 articles that were reviewed in full. The subset was further filtered in order to focus on psychology and the social sciences resulting in a total of 64 articles for analysis. As psychology and the social sciences begin to capture the implications of deepfake creation and dissemination, in the context of online sexual violence, there is a need to investigate how deepfakes are used to silence women in public spaces online, as well as empirically acknowledging the inherent gendered systemic discriminations within deepfake technology and its uses. While important, research must move beyond perceived credibility and detection techniques of deepfakes and toward an analysis of intersectional power dynamics at play in this form of gender-based violence.</p>","PeriodicalId":54211,"journal":{"name":"Trauma Violence & Abuse","volume":" ","pages":"2666-2681"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13736260/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145574900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The limited availability of Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) and other affordable housing assistance restricts the ability to address US national housing needs; millions more households qualify for HCVs than receive them. Those with HCVs encounter challenges in using vouchers in so-called high-opportunity areas. To address the dearth of HCVs and difficulty using them, a collaboration between faculty at Ohio State University and the community developed a new housing mobility program to increase the affordable housing supply, engaging stakeholders to understand the needs of low-income renters who are less likely to obtain an HCV. This paper outlines the Families Flourish program's development using both developmental and formative evaluations, examining the progress of the implementation and immediate outcomes using mixed methods. The developmental evaluation process required collaboration with a wide variety of stakeholders, partners, and the project team. According to the formative evaluation of the pilot program, participants' experiences suggested that enhanced housing security was associated with improvements in physical and mental health for parents and their children, and that a more stable and safe neighborhood environment was similarly associated with gains in employment, education, and income. Throughout the process of evaluation, particularly the developmental evaluation, the evaluator's communication and collaboration skills were essential to the methodology.

This secondary analysis of a systematic review investigated the scope of research examining links between prenatally assessed maternal trauma and offspring outcomes to identify areas of focus and those needing further investigation. Of 576 studies identified in the systematic review, 80 included offspring measures. Of these, 70 investigated associations between maternal trauma and offspring outcomes. We examined these studies for the type of maternal psychological trauma (including post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), type and timing of assessment of offspring outcomes, and regional variations reported. Most studies used a cross-sectional assessment of offspring outcomes (80%). The most common type of offspring outcome was birth or neonatal outcome (<i>n</i> = 40), which aligned with the most frequently examined time period. Interpersonal trauma (<i>n</i> = 41) and general trauma (<i>n</i> = 41) were the most common maternal trauma types examined prenatally, followed by childhood abuse (<i>n</i> = 37). Only 31.4% of studies measuring offspring outcomes included data on maternal PTSD status. Future research should longitudinally measure the impact of maternal psychological trauma on offspring outcomes through childhood and adolescence, providing insights for clinicians and policymakers.

While interventions have traditionally focused on supporting victims and survivors, including court-mandated behavioral change programs for men who perpetrate violence, there is a growing need to explore voluntary programs for men who use violence. This reflects a broader shift toward prevention, education, and support rather than a sole focus on reactive measures. By engaging men before violence escalates or becomes more frequent, these programs may offer a valuable opportunity to reduce harm, promote healthier behaviors, and ultimately create safer communities. This review assesses the current state of knowledge and identifies gaps in voluntary group programs for men who use violence. A scoping review was undertaken to better understand the current state of knowledge in the scholarly literature on voluntary programs for men who use violence. Thirteen studies meeting the eligibility criteria (published from 2014 to June 2025) were included for analysis after systemically sourcing articles from four databases and screening them using transparent inclusion and exclusion criteria. These studies were selected based on their relevance to voluntary, non-court-mandated interventions. The findings demonstrate significant gaps in the literature, particularly regarding the ability of voluntary programs to foster sustained and meaningful behavior change. While some studies reported positive short-term outcomes, such as increased self-awareness and improved relationship dynamics, the long-term impact of these programs remains uncertain.

A three-step search was conducted using 12 electronic databases (Cochrane, ProQuest, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, ERIC, CNKI, Wanfang, and Airiti Library). Meta-analysis, subgroup, and meta-regression were adopted. A total of 44 randomized controlled trials involving 65,707 participants from 15 countries were included.

First identified in the context of hepatitis research in the mid-1990s, involving the molecular analysis of blood samples collected during viral surveillance in West Africa and 1960s hepatitis research in Chicago, GB virus infection was associated with slower rates of disease progression among people living with HIV. Contextualizing the GB virus alongside broader developments in 1990s bloodborne virus research, including advances in molecular biology, biotech interest in diagnostics, and biosecurity, this article foregrounds how one virus came to be considered symbiotic under specific conditions. By the early 2000s, biomedical researchers speculated that the GB virus might be useful as a kind of ‘biovaccination’, particularly in parts of Africa where access to effective HIV prevention and therapy was limited and which were considered a ‘hotspot’ for zoonotic viruses. As a viral stowaway with unexpected benefits for its hosts, the history of the GB virus represents a symbiotic perspective on the political and economic arrangements that usually define viruses as pathogens in infectious disease research.","PeriodicalId":51152,"journal":{"name":"Social Studies of Science","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149373719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
