16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence

Post author By Jen
Post date November 21, 2011

November 25th begins 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. From the site:

Participants chose the dates November 25– International Day Against Violence Against Women-and December 10– International Human Rights Day- in order to symbolically link violence against women and human rights and to emphasize that such violence is a violation of human rights. This 16-day period also highlights other significant dates including November 29, International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, December 1, World AIDS Day, and December 6, which marks the Anniversary of the Montreal Massacre.

Animal Cruelty and Violence

Post author By Jen
Post date November 18, 2011

I had a question from a reader wanting to know if there were any webinars on domestic violence and animal abuse. I think Allie Phillips is doing some of the best work out there on the topic, and one of her webinars is archived over at ASPCA: The Linkages between Violence to Animals and People. From the site: This webinar will explain the research and theories behind the linkage of violence to animals and people. Investigation and prosecution strategies on handling “Link” crimes will be discussed, as well as the psychological impact of animal abuse on children, and how to include animal protection in your multi-disciplinary team to better prevent, investigate, and cross-report all forms of abuse.

Add: Thanks Allie, for the following message:

I just provided a webinar on the Linkages between violence to animals and people. Please visit http://ndaalearning.wordpress.com/animal-abuse/archived-courses/ and you will be prompted to request a password to access the webinar.

Violence and the Nurses’ Health Study

Post author By Jen
Post date November 14, 2011

When I think about the research out there being done on the impact of violence on health, I typically don’t think of the Nurses’ Health Study. So I was surprised to see this article in HuffPo about the linkage between childhood abuse and heart disease, as presented at the American Heart Association meeting this past weekend. That got me wondering…

It’s time once again for Articles Note. These are a selection from the late September, October and November peer-reviewed journals that feel particularly relevant to our practice. Remember, it’s in no way a comprehensive or exhaustive list, but it’s an excellent place to start. The majority of the links will take you to PubMed. There is also one free full-text article in here. Lots of sexual assault and elder abuse research this month.

A few things that have been piled up in my inbox that are worth mentioning. The first is a new CME offering (and really, Medscape, you could only manage to make this one for docs?): Domestic Violence Intervention Improves Referral, Disclosure Rates, based on research published this month in The Lancet.

If you know me, you know I am very interested in the business aspect of the work we do, including the cost of violence itself. You can check out the clinical guide on the subject if it’s of interest to you, as well. I am adding a new report to it today: The IOM has just released their workshop summary, The Social and Economic Cost of Violence.
