One partial explanation for the lack of improvement in the prevalence of sexual violence could be the lack of widespread dissemination, implementation, and sustainment of prevention programs. However, few implementation-focused studies specifically address sexual violence prevention programs (SVPPs). Implementation research helps to identify strategies for moving research and evidence-based strategies into policies and practices and is needed to move youth sexual violence prevention strategies into sustained use. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study was to learn about youth SVPP sustainability from program implementers’ perspectives and develop recommendations for sustainment. First, a survey was administered to youth SVPP practitioners in the United States. Survey findings ( <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 97) revealed significant correlations between already-established sustainability constructs and program sustainment (e.g., funding), and open-ended responses highlighted the importance of coalitions, partnerships, and networks (a construct in the sustainment framework used for the study). Following the survey phase, a qualitative participatory phase took place, building on the survey results and connecting through the sample. The qualitative phase ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 19) identified three major themes: (a) program buy-in, (b) prioritization of primary prevention, and (c) the centrality of connections and relationships. Examples of recommendations developed from the study are provided for each of the themes. Discussion focuses on contextualizing youth SVPP sustainability alongside other indicators of implementation success (e.g., adoption, acceptability) and the potential for addressing multiple implementation indicators with a shared set of strategies.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"168 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218617","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Elos 2.0 Program, a Brazilian adaptation of the Good Behavior Game, aims to reduce such behaviors through structured activities among elementary school students. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 2,267 first to fourth-grade students from 11 public elementary schools in the Northeast region of Brazil. Using a modified version of the Revised Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire, we compared 1,112 children who were submitted to Elos 2.0 intervention with 1,155 participants who were in the control group. Our analysis showed no significant difference in bullying post-intervention. Multilevel logistic regression, adjusted for age and grade, presented no significant effects of the intervention on type I improvement (<i>p</i> = .548) or type II improvement (<i>p</i> = .633). Improvement type I includes maintaining a noninvolvement status in bullying, while improvement type II focuses strictly on those who stopped being involved in bullying. The Elos 2.0 Program did not significantly reduce bullying among students. Further research is needed to explore alternative strategies or program modifications to existing programs to effectively address bullying in school settings.<b>Trial Registration:</b> REBEC/Brazil: U1111-1228-2342 (https://ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-86c6jp).</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862605251343555"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144225717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A secondary aim is to examine the institutional characteristics related to incidents of reporting. The sample of institutions included grant recipients from fiscal years 2015, 2016, and 2017 with less than 10,000 students and a Carnegie classification as baccalaureate colleges or master's colleges and universities (<i>N</i> = 63).

The sample institutions experienced a significant increase in reports of rape (<i>p</i> = .003), fondling (<i>p</i> = .001), and dating violence (<i>p</i> < .001) during grant implementation years. In addition, all institutional characteristics used as covariates significantly affected one or more reported sexual violence crimes. Institutions should expect an increase in sexual violence reporting during the Campus Program grant implementation years.

Additionally, analyses that included both men and women have found mixed, contradictory, or inconclusive results. The purpose of this study was to conduct gender-specific analysis of late-life physical health outcomes among adults with histories of CSA. We utilized data from the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study (WLS), a long-term study of a random sample of 10,317 men and women who graduated from Wisconsin high schools in 1957. The study sample included 5,968 respondents from the 2011 survey, when the mean age was 72 years (range: 71–74). We used ordinary least squares (OLS) regression to examine the effect of CSA on the lifetime diagnosed illnesses and self-rated health, controlling for childhood adversities and covariates. To adjust for the count nature of the lifetime diagnosed illnesses variable, we estimated Poisson regression models, which yielded consistent results with the OLS. In this sample, 5.24% ( <jats:italic>n</jats:italic> = 313) of the respondents reported having experienced CSA. In the multivariate analyses, CSA was significantly associated with more lifetime diagnosed illnesses ( <jats:italic>b</jats:italic> = 0.43, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; .001) and poorer self-rated health ( <jats:italic>b</jats:italic> = −0.09, <jats:italic>p</jats:italic> &lt; .05). The effect of CSA on diagnoses illnesses and on self-rated health did not differ by gender. After more than five decades, CSA was significantly associated with a higher number of lifetime diagnoses and lower self-rated health for individuals in the WLS. Understanding CSA as a life course social determinant of adult health calls for healthcare practices and translational research to promote the health of diverse individuals and populations. Healthcare providers serving older adults should incorporate screening questions and assessments of child maltreatment experiences into routine care.","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144202191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exodus includes women enduring the traumas of displacement alongside sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Upon reaching supposed places of refuge, they encounter the structural violence of immigration and asylum regimes. Against this backdrop, the intersection of SGBV, forced migration, and structural violence emerges as an urgent area of study. Drawing from extensive qualitative interviews in Australia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, we set out to examine the impact of structural violence on the lives of forced migrant survivors of SGBV. The article introduces a novel framework to analyze how SGBV, forced migration and structural violence intersect and impact on the lives of survivors. The framework synthesizes (a) the intimate violence of dependency, (b) the slow violence of everyday life, and (c) the gender insensitivity characteristic of determination regimes. Survivors endure a range of injustices: the intimate violence of dependency traps women in controlling relationships; the asylum system's slow violence leaves them in substandard and undignified conditions; and gender-insensitivity renders their SGBV experiences invisible, often retraumatizing survivors. Within this framework, we describe how these intersecting forms of structural violence underpinning immigration systems, systematically fail those at risk of SGBV, rendering them vulnerable to interpersonal violence instead of protecting them. We call for immigration and asylum systems to prioritize the protection and well-being of women, many of whom are SGBV survivors. As forced migrants face increasingly hostile statutory regimes, we must recognize and address the structural violence that perpetuates harm and denies them protection. Failure to act risks further perpetuating the cycle of violence, trauma and injustice, undermining principles of safety and refuge for those in dire need.</p>","PeriodicalId":16289,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Violence","volume":" ","pages":"8862605251338785"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mandatory reporting policy and the universal use of the TIPVDA provide a unique opportunity to investigate the time course of repeat IPV victimization. This study analyzes high-risk IPV incidents (<i>n</i> = 18,740) reported in Taiwan from 2017 to 2019 using Cox regression analysis. Analysis results suggested three main findings: (a) The time interval between IPV victimizations shortened and the severity of violence increased; (b) the TIPVDA score was consistently associated with repeat victimization, unlike self-assessed dangerousness; (c) specific TIPVDA items, such as IPV history and financial stress, predicted the rate of repeat victimization.

Therefore, this research addresses this gap by exploring the complex pathways connecting married women's education and multidimensional empowerment to IPV. Using data from the 2019 Sri Lankan Women's Wellbeing Survey, this study included 1,165 married women. A path analysis based on structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the complex interplay between distinct empowerment domains and IPV. The SEM results revealed both direct and indirect effects of women's education and empowerment on IPV experiences. Education is positively linked to age at marriage, employment status, and husbands' educational level, while inversely associated with accepting attitudes toward violence. Age at marriage plays a major role as a mediator, mediating the relationship between women's education and their involvement in decision-making, and the relationship between husbands' education and women's IPV experience. Moreover, the relationship between women's age at marriage and their IPV experiences was fully mediated by their decision-making ability, highlighting the importance of empowerment in decision-making.
