SUMMARY:Facilitators of Help-Seeking for Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:A survivor’s decision to engage with formal services for experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV) is influenced by factors at the individual\, interpersonal\, and sociocultural levels. Understanding the factors that facilitate survivors’ choice to seek services could be beneficial to formal service providers including community agencies\, health professionals\, and the criminal justice system\, providing guidance toward the development and implementation of accessible services for survivors of IPV. This presentation reviews seven key factors that facilitate survivors’ formal help-seeking. \nThis webinar will help participants to: \n\nUnderstand the role of formal services in responding to intimate partner violence (IPV).\nExamine the current state of the literature surrounding facilitators of formal IPV help-seeking.\nExplore how to incorporate identified facilitators into IPV service approaches\, with implications for researchers and practitioners.\n\nPresenters: \nKristen Ravi\, Ph.D. is an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Her program of research primarily focuses on children’s exposure to parental intimate partner violence and their social\, mental health\, and academic outcomes. Her other research interests include IPV help seeking\, IPV among immigrants and refugees and survivors’ experiences of transportation coercion. \nSarah Leat\, Ph.D. is an assistant professor in the School of Social Work at the University of Memphis. She studies interpersonal violence\, specifically focusing on sexual violence and intimate partner violence. Her research interests center on help-seeking behaviors among survivors of intimate partner violence and the impact of the built environment on survivors’ abilities to access services and receive positive outcomes from those services. \nChristina Cicconi\, M.A.\, MSW has worked with IPV survivors for the past five years and is currently a case manager at the Johnson County Family Crisis Center which offers services to IPV survivors such as counseling\, parenting classes\, IPV education\, and emergency shelter.

SUMMARY:Advances in State-level Crime and Victimization Surveys: Lessons from the Oregon Crime Victimization Survey
DESCRIPTION:State and local crime victimization surveys can yield powerful data for estimating the prevalence and incidence of victimization. State-level surveys conducted in recent years\, however\, have varied considerably in both methodological approach and rigor due in part to the increasing difficulty of surveying households in an era of declining response rates. As a result\, a significant challenge remains for researchers seeking to identify the most valid\, reliable\, and cost-effective methods for sampling households and gathering survey responses. This webinar describes the use of three alternative forms of sampling and data collection modes using Oregon’s first statewide crime victimization survey as a basis. The Oregon Crime Victimization Survey (OCVS) applied a mixed-mode data collection strategy combining computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) with a “text-to-web” option and mail “push-to-web” approach. This allows for the direct comparison of three distinct samples and modes of data collection (i.e.\, random-digit dialing (RDD) CATI\, RDD text-to-web\, and address-based sampling (ABS) web) on crime victimization estimates\, sampling error\, response rates\, efficiency\, and costs. This webinar discusses the potential advantages and implications of a dual-frame and multimode approach and the importance of methodological choice for obtaining state-level crime victimization estimates. \nPresenters: \nStephen M. Haas\, Ph.D. \nDr. Haas is director of research and evaluation for the Justice Research and Victim Services (JRVS) portfolio at ICF. He has more than 25 years of experience in project management\, program evaluation\, applied research\, and technical assistance. Dr. Haas has extensive skills in study protocol development\, review\, and adjustment\, including site outreach\, selection\, and recruitment; data collection\, preparation\, implementation and monitoring\, analysis\, reporting\, and dissemination; and nonresponse and missing data analysis\, imputation\, and weighting. He served as a principal investigator and project director for West Virginia’s first crime victimization survey funded by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Dr. Haas has extensive experience conducting research in victimology and evaluating victim services programs\, including STOP Violence Against Women Federal Grant Program\, the National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI)\, the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Program (SANE)\, and the Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Enforcement grant. He has received several national honors for his work over the years\, including the National Sexual Violence Resource Center’s Visionary Voice national award for creativity\, hard work\, and dedication to the field of sexual violence prevention. For the Oregon Crime Victimization Survey (OCVS)\, he served as project director and key principal investigator and was instrumental in the development of all aspects of the OCVS providing content-specific knowledge of crime victimization surveys\, the National Uniform Crime Reporting Program\, and the Oregon National Incident-Based Reporting System. \nMatt Jans\, Ph.D. \nDr. Jans is a senior survey methodologist at ICF. His methodological expertise focuses on telephone surveys\, asking sensitive and difficult survey questions\, alternative modes of data collection\, interviewer effects\, and total survey error. Spanning over 20 years\, his career has included survey administration and management\, pilot test development and execution\, questionnaire design and pretesting\, randomized experiment design for surveys\, cognitive interviewing\, and web survey usability and user experience (UX) testing. Dr. Jans’ served as methodologist for the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS)\, which is the largest single-state health survey in the US. In that role he was responsible for methodological innovation and documentation. Dr. Jans currently surveys as methodologist for ICF’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) portfolio of surveys. Dr. Jans’ survey design experience includes the U.S. Census Bureau’s Human Factors and Usability Laboratory\, where he conducted usability experiments and expert reviews of Census Bureau websites and web surveys. Dr. Jans served as a co-principal investigator on the OCVS consulting on best practice in survey methods and focusing specifically on questionnaire design and testing\, question wording and format related to mode considerations\, and data collection procedures and techniques to maximize response rate and reduce total survey error. \nRandy ZuWallack\, M.S. \nMr. ZuWallack is a senior survey statistician at ICF. He has 22 years of statistical experience with 16 years of experience with state and local population-based surveys. He specializes in developing cost-effective\, goal‑oriented study designs for national\, state\, and local research and evaluation projects. As a senior sampling statistician\, he provides statistical expertise in sampling and estimation\, develops analytic methods to address research goals\, designs cost-effective methods for survey administration\, and presents innovative research at industry conferences. He offers particular expertise in designing dual-frame RDD and ABS samples\, including effective approaches to oversampling. Since 2003\, he has provided sampling and statistical support for ICF’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) practice which has served more states than any other provider in the U.S. He recently worked on the Washington BRFSS pilot surveys\, a project examining alternative methods to improve data collection quality and efficiency. Mr. ZuWallack focused on the sampling and weighting tasks for the OCVS. \nSiobhan McAlister\, M.S.  \nMs. McAlister is a Senior Research Analyst at the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission (CJC). She has worked at the CJC for three years\, conducting data analysis and project management on a wide range of studies. She has worked on projects examining recidivism among Oregon Drug Court participants\, forecasts of prison beds impacted by policy changes\, and reports evaluating racial bias in police stops.

SUMMARY:The Evidence Hour: Teen Dating Violence Help-Seeking Among Ethnically and Racially Diverse Youth
DESCRIPTION:The Evidence Hour: Teen Dating Violence Help-Seeking Among Ethnically and Racially Diverse Youth looks at the results of a recent systematic review of studies on this topic\, revealing what we know about this connection and where more research is needed. \nFor May\, we will discuss “Teen Dating Violence Help-Seeking Intentions and Behaviors Among Ethnically and Racially Diverse Youth: A Systematic Review” by Diana Padilla-Medina et al. (2021) in Trauma\, Violence\, & Abuse. [Email the Center for Victim Research Librarian for article access] \nTeen dating violence (TDV) affects millions of youths in the United States and globally each year. TDV has been associated with negative physical health and mental health outcomes. Yet\, the prevalence of help-seeking among youth who have experience TDV is fairly low. Youth from diverse racial and ethnic groups are particularly vulnerable to TDV victimization\, but are still underrepresented in TDV research. While the past decade has witnessed an increased interest from researchers to understand how the phenomenon of TDV manifests among ethnically and racially diverse populations\, there is still a gap in the literature that explores the racial and ethnic differences in the help-seeking intentions and behaviors of youth. \nWebinar Objectives: \n\nTo assess the state of the empirical literature on dating violence and help-seeking intentions and behaviors among racially and ethnically diverse youth between the ages of 12 and 19.\nTo examine the research gaps that remain in the scientific literature.\nTo discuss promising actions that researchers\, practitioners and advocates can take to fill those gaps and advance science and practice in the field of TDV.\n\nRecording and Related Resources \nPresenters: \nDiana M. Padilla-Medina\, PhD\, LMSW\, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Arlington School of Social Work. She is also a 2018-2019 Fulbright Scholar. Diana also conducts international consultancy and evaluation work\, to help develop social services programs in the Dominican Republic and Colombia. Prior to that\, Diana worked as a Psychiatric Social Worker at the Puerto Rican Family Institute\, and as Research Scientist at NYU Silver School of Social Work. Diana complements her clinical practice and research\, with policy experience. Prior to becoming a social worker\, she worked at The Brooking Institution on Latin American issues\, such as crime\, citizen security\, and violence. She received grants from the Organization of American States and Open Society Institute to conduct research work in the region on these topics. Diana’s current research work focuses on sexual and intimate partner violence among adolescents and adults\, particularly among Latinos. She has published on the topics of gender\, intimate partner violence\, and decision making in Latin America\, and has participated in local media discussing issues related to adolescent dating violence\, and practice of policy implications.\nDiana holds a Ph. D from New York University\, and a MSW and MA in Human Rights from Columbia University. \nCarolina Vélez-Grau\, PhD\, LCSW\, is a Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellow/Assistant Professor at the NYU Silver School of Social Work. She is a Colombian-born pediatric psychiatric social worker researcher with more than a decade of clinical practice. Her research focuses on suicide prevention and access to mental health services among ethnocultural minoritized youth\, particularly Latinx and Black teens. She was awarded an NIMH Diversity Supplement (2020-2022) to study interpersonal factors associated with suicidal ideation and youth’s perceptions about engagement in mental health services. She is interested in incorporating community-based participatory research to develop suicide prevention approaches targeted to Black and Latinx youth who think about suicide. Her goal is to train lay community members for this approach to be delivered in the adolescents’ natural settings.

SUMMARY:Transforming the Way We Respond to Gender-Based Violence
DESCRIPTION:April 2021 marks ten years since EVAWI first launched the Start by Believing campaign.  Over the past decade\, 554 US communities have launched campaigns\, seeking to improve the way we respond to sexual and domestic violence\, and thousands of people have made the pledge to Start by Believing. Campaigns have been launched in approximately 23 other countries. During this webinar\, we will discuss the ways in which Start by Believing can improve justice and healing outcomes for survivors. Learn how a positive response\, of believing the survivor\, can prevent long-term health and healing consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder\, suicide ideation\, and autoimmune disease. We will also review preliminary evidence suggesting Start by Believing may have a positive impact on whether victims report or seek help. \nSession Objectives: \n\nExamine the research on positive and negative responses to disclosures of sexual assault.\nRecognize the long-term health consequences of sexual assault\, and how Start by Believing can be used as a tool for the prevention of those consequences.\nExplain the potential impact of Start by Believing on victim’s reporting and help-seeking behaviors.
