A request from Terry Cintron:

In partial fulfillment of the requirement for a Masters of Science in Nursing Administration and Education through Mountain State University I am currently conducting a content analysis. The content analysis will examine questions on sexual assault interview forms which are used throughout the United States. The primary focus of the analysis will be to assess forms for questions associated with previous sexual assault, domestic violence and childhood sexual assault or abuse. Forms will be compared for question revision and updated information.

In providing the sexual assault interview form the response will remain confidential; no individual, hospital, organization, city or state will be identified. A number will be assigned to each form as a code only for the purpose of indentifying the form. The information generated from the content analysis will assist in the development of future interview forms for victims of sexual assault.

If it is feasible to provide the form please contact me at the email address listed and I will provide either a confidential fax number or my mail address.

If you should have any questions please contact me at the email address provided. Email address: cintrona@shaw.ca. Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you aren’t on the mailing list for CalCASA’s Prevention Connection newsletter, you probably should make that happen. It’s a worthwhile email every time. I was especially enamored with this month’s newlstter because it satisfies the wonkiest parts of me: a podcast with Amanda Hess, whose column, The Sexist you can read at the Washington City Paper (available online for all of you non-DC folks); a research podcast with TK Logan and Jody Raphael on the misuse of rape statistics.

I’m a bit late getting this up (pesky vacation!), but since we’re on an article tear here at FHO this week, here’s a compilation worth checking out. VAWNet has a new section on Reproductive Justice and Violence Against Women: Understanding the Intersections. From the site: “Reproductive justice is an analytical framework or theory, a movement, and a practice that works to protect and guarantee women’s rights and the full achievement of human rights. The term “reproductive justice” was claimed and coined by women of color as a result of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development hosted in Cairo. It integrates reproductive health with social justice and human rights. The term reproductive justice represents a holistic view that acknowledges diverse factors that intersect in multiple ways to affect women and their reproductive rights.”
