SUMMARY:The Evidence Hour: Helping without Harming: Educating Mental Health Professionals on Working with Survivors of IPV
DESCRIPTION:Join CVR for the next in our Evidence Hour series\, Helping without Harming: Educating Mental Health Professionals on Working with Survivors of IPV. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global problem that mental health professionals are guaranteed to encounter. This webinar synthesizes existing literature on how mental health professionals are prepared to support those experiencing IPV and discusses how an intersectional feminist framework can be applied in practice settings to confront the complexities of abuse. \nLearning objectives: \n\nParticipants will examine a review of the existing literature on how mental health professionals are currently prepared to work with IPV survivors.\nParticipants will learn how applying an intersectional feminist framework can promote social justice for those impacted by IPV and encourage critical conversations about confronting the complexities of abuse\, assessing safety\, and honoring lived experiences.\nParticipants will be provided with several strategies and tools to appropriately assist clients who have experienced IPV through a feminist\, empowerment model.\n\nPresenters: \nAmber Sutton\, LICSW\, is a licensed independent clinical social worker and a current Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Social Work at the University of Alabama. Her dissertation research focuses on understanding the links between intimate partner violence [IPV]\, femicide\, and COVID-19 through an intersectional feminist framework. Amber holds degrees from Washington University in St. Louis and from the University of Montevallo. Amber has worked with survivors of IPV and their families for the past nine years in a multitude of settings including residential services\, prevention education\, the legal system\, and program evaluation. Amber has also worked as a Director for a domestic and sexual violence agency where she developed and supervised the legal\, case management\, SANE\, counseling\, and prevention and intervention education programs. Amber currently serves as a therapist specializing in work with survivors of IPV\, a core leadership member of the City of Birmingham’s Women’s Initiative\, and is a member of Tuscaloosa’s Trauma Systems Therapy team. Amber’s interests include protections for pets\, partner violence in rural communities\, trauma-informed management techniques within non-profit organizations\, and social justice as it relates to gender-based violence. A survivor herself\, Amber is interested in conducting and utilizing research to identify\, improve\, and support micro\, mezzo\, and macro-level responses to survivors of violence. Previously\, Amber served as a member of the Board of Directors for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV). \nHaley H. Beech\, LMSW\, is currently a doctoral candidate at the University of Alabama\, School of Social Work\, and a licensed master social worker. Her research focuses on the intersection of maternal health and violence against women\, including intimate partner violence and obstetric violence. She has a BA in Sociology from Samford University and an MSW from the University of Alabama. Haley is a social work researcher\, community advocate\, and intersectional feminist. As a qualitative researcher\, she values the lived experiences of others and honors their local knowledge by aiming to highlight their voices and disrupting traditional education in the academy. Her work and research focus on bridging the gap between research and practice with an emphasis on research-informed practice and practice-informed research.

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.
