背景针对妇女和女孩的暴力是一种公共卫生流行病。基于校园的研究发现，旁观者计划有望成为性暴力的有效初级预防。然而，关于特别是在社区环境中防止家庭暴力和虐待旁观者的证据仍在发展中。此外，研究主要来自美国。在不同的文化背景下检查概念的证明是必要的。这项研究评估了英国一般社区-活跃的旁观者社区-家庭暴力和虐待旁观者干预的可行性和有效性。方法随机招募的参与者参加了一个由该领域专家促成的为期三天的计划。通过参与者出席率和对九个学习目标的反馈来衡量方案的可行性。在基线、干预后和四个月的随访中，使用有效的量表评估神话接受度、旁观者效能、行为意图和旁观者行为。对结果进行了检查，以确定潜在的反弹。分析采用配对样本t检验，效应大小用Cohen‘s法量化。结果58/70名参与者参加了所有的方案会议。参与者的反馈一致对该计划给予了高度和显著的评价(p
BackgroundViolence against women and girls is a public health epidemic. Campus-based research has found bystander programmes show promise as effective primary prevention of sexual violence. However, evidence regarding domestic violence and abuse bystander prevention specifically, and in community settings generally, is still in development. Further, research has predominantly emanated from the US. Examining proof of concept in differing cultural contexts is required. This study evaluates the feasibility and potential for effectiveness of a domestic violence and abuse bystander intervention within UK general communities-Active Bystander Communities.MethodsParticipants recruited opportunistically attended a three-session programme facilitated by experts in the field. Programme feasibility was measured using participant attendance and feedback across nine learning objectives. Myth acceptance, bystander efficacy, behavioural intent and bystander behaviours were assessed using validated scales at baseline, post-intervention, and four-month follow-up. Results were examined for potential backlash. Analyses used a paired sample t-test and effect size was quantified with Cohen's d.Results58/70 participants attended all programme sessions. Participant feedback consistently rated the programme highly and significant change (p
