Make an IMPACT: A Culturally Sensitive Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Tool

 描述(申请人提供)：亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)在美国以惊人的数字发生，近三分之一的女性和四分之一的男性报告说，他们在一生中的某个时候曾被亲密伴侣强奸和/或身体攻击，一半的美国男性和女性经历过亲密伴侣(Black ET)的心理攻击。Al.，2011)。对IPV方案和服务的需求增加，而资金减少。IPV热线平均每分钟接到14个电话(全国结束家庭暴力网络，2012年)，加州是所有州中家庭暴力紧急呼叫率最高的州，服务减少了62%(全国妇女组织，2009年)。通过将预防作为国家优先事项，《平价医疗法案》要求私营保险公司承保IPV的预防性服务(Cassidy，2010；美国预防服务工作组，2013)，从而为提高从业者和社区实施循证方案和在更大范围内预防IPV的能力提供了一个绝佳的机会。本提案提供了易于使用、可定制的互动培训模块和资源，以提高那些准备预防传染病的人的预防能力。Impact(IPV预防和文化定制模块)资源和培训中心将提供一个创新的在线多媒体资源，该资源将提供下列相互关联的功能：(1)预防原则和核心能力，以增强从业者的知识、技能和自我效能，以实施一般和IPV预防计划和战略；(2)有效的IPV计划和战略，由一级、二级和三级IPV预防方面的最佳证据组成，并可获得现有有效计划；(3)以问题为基础的内容，以帮助从业者加强现有的预防计划和策略，并考虑到可能影响计划成败的问题。通过侧重于“问题”(如移民地位、贫困和歧视)而不是社会类别(如种族、族裔)，影响将与更广泛的受众更相关，并消除任何种族/族裔陈规定型观念的影响，从而进一步减少污名化。(4)视觉上吸引人的补充工具、练习和活动，以加强预防规划，采用Web 2.0技术和适当的非污名化的基于问题的内容，设计供从业者在其预防工作中与其客户一起使用。访问的选定培训课程和计划内容可以通过(5)My Impact保留，这是一个专门区域，供每个Impact用户保存他们的定制模块和资源，以便重新访问，并在必要时使用新的Impact内容进行刷新。综上所述，Impact将通过使用加强互动学习的新技术，提高从业者的技能、能力和自我效能，以丰富、定制并最终维持其预防IPV的努力。第二阶段成功的关键指标将包括：(1)一个完整的数字平台，以产生影响，提供实施IPV预防所需的内容；(2)开展一项实施成果研究，以测试资源的有效性。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs in alarming numbers in the United States in which nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men report that they have been raped and/or physically assaulted by an intimate partner at some point in their life and half of all U.S. men and women have experienced psychological aggression from an intimate partner (Black et. al., 2011). Demand for IPV programs and services increases while funding decreases. Every minute IPV hotlines receive, on average, 14 calls (National Network to End Domestic Violence, 2012) and California, which has the highest rate of emergency calls for domestic violence of any state, cut services by 62% (National Organization for Women, 2009). By setting prevention as a national priority, the Affordable Care Act requires private insurers to cover preventative services for IPV (Cassidy, 2010; U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, 2013), thus presenting a prime opportunity to raise capacity among practitioners and communities to implement evidence-based programming and to prevent IPV on a broader scale. The present proposal offers easy-to-use, customizable interactive training modules and resources to raise prevention capacity in those poised to prevent IPV. IMPACT (IPV Modules for Prevention and Cultural Tailoring) Resource and Training Center will offer an innovative online multimedia resource that will offer the following interrelated features: (1) Prevention principles and core competencies to enhance practitioners' knowledge, skills and self-efficacy to implement general and IPV prevention programs and strategies; (2) Effective IPV programs and strategies consisting of the best evidence in primary, secondary and tertiary IPV prevention with access to existing effective programs; (3) Issue-based content to assist practitioners in enhancing existing prevention programs and strategies by taking into account issues that may impact success or failure of programs. By focusing on `issues' (e.g., immigration status, poverty, and discrimination) instead of social categories (e.g., race, ethnicity), IMPACT will be more relevant to a wider audience and removes any implication of racial/ethnic stereotyping, thus, further reducing stigmatization. (4) Complementary tools, exercises and activities that are visually engaging to augment prevention programming, employing Web 2.0 technology and appropriate non-stigmatizing issue-based content designed for practitioners to use with their clients in their prevention efforts. Selected training curricula and program content accessed can be retained through (5) My IMPACT, a dedicated area for each IMPACT user to save their customized modules and resources to revisit and if necessary, refresh with new IMPACT content. Taken all together, IMPACT will enhance practitioners' skill sets, capacity, and self-efficacy to enrich, customize and ultimately, sustain their IPV prevention efforts through the use of new technologies that reinforce interactive learning. Key indicators of success in Phase II will include: (1) a complete digital platform for IMPACT with content necessary to implement IPV prevention and (2) an implementation outcome study to test the resource's effectiveness.
