This study aimed to educate IPV survivors through a trauma-informed, WHI education program tailored to the needs and experiences of IPV victims, based on focus group data. An education program was created using data from 10 focus groups (n = 38), and these interactive presentations on WHIs were presented to IPV survivors (n = 69). Participants completed demographic surveys, including questions about physician acknowledgment of IPV as a risk factor for chronic conditions, and pre-post tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational sessions. Education session data revealed that 39% of participants had never heard of HPV, 38% had not received a Pap smear in the last 3 years, and 15% did not know where to get tested for HIV. Only 15% (n = 10) of participants reported that their physician acknowledged IPV as a risk factor for disease. Following the health education, there was a significant normalized gain of 55.66%, with paired t tests comparing pretest/posttest scores supporting understanding of WHIs (p < .01). Tailored education modules about WHIs proved effective in educating women who have experienced IPV. Future iterations will focus on topics informed by participant responses, such as diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, reproductive health, and gastrointestinal diseases. This study opens avenues for further exploration of the connection between IPV and health initiatives.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149117000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the rapid growth of Asian and Hispanic immigrants and the marginalized socioeconomic position many in these subgroups face, there is an urgent need for a systematic understanding of the victimization experiences faced across different generations of Asian and Hispanic immigrant subgroups. This study fills the gap in the literature to date by (a) investigating variations in the victimization of violent and property crime among immigrants of different statuses (e.g., authorized immigrants, unauthorized immigrants, and second-generation immigrants); (b) examining victimization across various race/ethnicity (e.g., Hispanic and Asian) subgroups; and (c) identifying community-level characteristics that contribute to victimization. This study uses a representative cross-sectional survey of residents' victimization experiences in the city of San Jose, California. Specifically, we use a stratified multistage sampling method to select our sample from 80 primary sample clusters. We find that authorized first-generation immigrants have the lowest risk for several forms of victimization. Several important implications of the methods and findings are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148867343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One hundred two college students (56.1% women; 78.9% White) completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and were randomly assigned to either a one-time 15-minute audio-guided meditation, mindful condition, or control condition before completing a shock-based laboratory aggression paradigm involving provocation by an ostensible opponent. All participants were coded as having either high or low levels of dispositional mindfulness based on a mean split of their MAAS score. Results indicated that participants with high levels of dispositional mindfulness displayed significantly less aggression in the MM condition relative to the control condition (d = .64). In contrast, participants with low levels of dispositional mindfulness displayed more aggression in the mindful condition relative to the control condition (d = .45), although this effect was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that individuals' baseline ability to nonjudgmentally observe the present moment has important implications for determining who may and may not benefit from audio-guided MM as a brief intervention for aggression.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148457382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2018 to 2023, we used community-based participatory research (CBPR) to evaluate Project Respect's Healthy Relations and Consent and Safer Spaces programs. This study assessed changes in students' knowledge, skills, and behaviors related to consent after participating in the Healthy Relations and Consent Workshops and found increased understanding of consent, greater confidence in boundary setting, and improved bystander intervention skills. Students also perceived a more positive school culture around consent. Educators who participated in the Safer Spaces Workshop reported enhanced confidence in fostering inclusive environments for students and a deeper understanding of gender expansiveness and sexuality. Our preliminary findings suggest that a whole-school approach to consent education benefits both students and educators and should be included as part of the education of middle and high school students and their educators. Additionally, using CBPR, especially including the voices of gender-diverse students, is important and should be prioritized in future DGBV prevention efforts.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148714305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Casey et al. argue that outreach and recruitment efforts and whether these programs foster identities as social change agents over time are especially understudied components of gender-transformative programs. Based on a non-quasi-experimental, single-group, repeated-measures design without a control group, this pilot study engages these questions by investigating participant characteristics and leadership program outcomes of one gender-transformative bystander program-the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program-as applied to student leaders in athletics, fraternity and sorority life, and residential life. We found that student leaders came to the training with varying gender ideologies and leadership experience that are important considerations in future outreach and recruitment efforts. The 1-day MVP program also produced significant improvements from pre- to posttest in activist outcomes for women and men and for the three student leadership groups. Yet, on several program outcomes, training effects waned 3 months later, women benefitted more than men, and gender ideology interacted with peer group to shape program gains. The article concludes with reflections on the implications of these findings for gender-transformative work with college peer groups often labeled \"at higher risk\" for sexual assault; the centrality of gender, gender ideology, and other peer group characteristics to recruitment and outreach efforts; and future research and practical applications for sustaining activist education on college campuses.","PeriodicalId":48139,"journal":{"name":"Violence and Victims","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148457336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
