"You're just constantly on alert": Women and Gender-Diverse People's Experiences of Sexual Violence on Public Transport. J Interpers Violence. 2023:8862605231186123. PMID: 37465905
“Public transport is a key site of sexual violence and harassment experienced by women and gender-diverse people in Australia…including stalking, sexualized verbal assaults, sexual assault, physical violence, homophobic and transphobic verbal assaults, and racist verbal assaults. Participants reported a broad range of experiences not only on the mode of transport (tram, bus, train, and taxi/rideshare) but also on platforms, in transit, and during the last kilometer home. All participants reported that the perpetrator or perpetrators were male and unknown to the victim…sexual violence and harassment on public transport should be addressed…for primary prevention.”

State Policies on Child Maltreatment and Racial Disproportionality. Children and youth services review. 2023;151. PMID: 37425655
“The racial disproportionality index (RDI) was calculated for Black children in each state and Washington DC (N = 51) based on the proportion of children who received a referral to CPS, a substantiated investigation, or entered foster care… Our results suggest there is an overrepresentation of Black children in CPS across the three decision points…Recommendations are provided for policy and research, including a suggestion for further exploration of state policies and county-level disproportionality indexes.”

A Conceptual Model to Guide Patient-to-Provider Communication of Adverse Childhood Experiences in Primary Care: The PPC-ACE Model. ANS Adv Nurs Sci. 2023 Jul-Sep 01;46(3):265-276. PMID: 36083620
“Communicating with adults about childhood adversity is not an innate clinical skill nor is it a routine assessment element…This article presents the development of a conceptual model to guide patient-to-provider communication of adverse childhood experiences in primary care (the PPC-ACE model). This includes a description of the model and its associated foundational elements, underlying assumptions, implications for nursing practice, and opportunities to use this model to guide future ACEs-related research.”

Reducing Family Violence Through Child Welfare Intervention: A Propensity Score-Matched Study of Fathers for Change. J Interpers Violence. 2023:8862605231186121. PMID: 37470201
“Most children referred to child protective services (CPS) have witnessed IPV and are at increased risk for subsequent exposure, as well as repeat maltreatment. For CPS referred children, there is often a missed opportunity to interrupt family violence and prevent future occurrences. Fathers for Change (F4C) is a family level intervention designed to reduce IPV by improving emotion regulation and reflective functioning in fathers.” In a study of F4C fathers vs. a control group, “control fathers were 2.4 times more likely to have a repeat maltreatment report during the 12-month follow-up period than F4C fathers.”
