The Health Sector Response to Gender-Based Violence and Sexual Reproductive Health Programs in the Commonwealth and Selected African Countries: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

The Health Sector Response to Gender-Based Violence and Sexual Reproductive Health Programs in the Commonwealth and Selected African Countries: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a critical public health issue, particularly affecting women, girls, and individuals with nonbinary gender identities in the Commonwealth and most African nations [1-4]. In a survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO), more than a quarter (27%) of women between the ages of 14 and 50 years reported having experienced physical or sexual violence, or both, from an intimate partner [1].

Spatiotemporal Trends in Deaths From External Causes in Brazil: 23-Year Ecological and Population-Based Study

Spatiotemporal Trends in Deaths From External Causes in Brazil: 23-Year Ecological and Population-Based Study

In 2021, deaths from violence and accidents accounted for approximately 8% of all deaths across the country, ranking as the fourth leading cause of mortality, with particular emphasis on homicides and transport accidents, which together were responsible for more than 50% of deaths related to external factors in Brazilian territory [5]. Despite the significant socioeconomic impacts of accidents and violence worldwide, certain population groups and regions are more vulnerable [6,7].

Designing and Evaluating a Prototype of a Trilingual Data Collection Tool for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region to Collect Data About Violence Against Sex Workers: Multiple Methods Approach in User-Centered Design

Designing and Evaluating a Prototype of a Trilingual Data Collection Tool for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region to Collect Data About Violence Against Sex Workers: Multiple Methods Approach in User-Centered Design

Documenting violence against sex workers (VASWs) will help develop more effective responses to the health consequences of VASWs, including posttraumatic stress disorder [10] and HIV and other sexually transmitted infections [1,11]. Sex workers share information about perpetrators of violence among themselves [8], separate from reporting to law enforcement, in order to share information about violent experiences and to help others avoid their attackers.

Associations of Violence Against Women With Comorbid Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety Among Left-Behind Women in Rural China: Cross-Sectional Study

A crucial, yet often overlooked, determinant of mental health is violence against women (VAW). VAW is a pervasive global issue encompassing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, with intimate partner violence (IPV) being the most commonly studied form [13,14].

Supervised Natural Language Processing Classification of Violent Death Narratives: Development and Assessment of a Compact Large Language Model

Supervised Natural Language Processing Classification of Violent Death Narratives: Development and Assessment of a Compact Large Language Model

Applications of NLP to a related text narrative type, clinical notes from medical providers, have identified patient self-harm [29-34] and violence-related [35-38] outcomes often using LLMs or deep learning approaches. In part, researchers and practitioners may face particular challenges applying LLMs to NVDRS. One important challenge is that many outcomes of interest are likely to be infrequent or rare events that can present classification challenges due to sparse information about the outcome [39-41].

The Lived Experiences of Racial and Ethnic Minority Nurses Exposed to Racial Microaggressions in the Hospital Setting: Qualitative Study

The Lived Experiences of Racial and Ethnic Minority Nurses Exposed to Racial Microaggressions in the Hospital Setting: Qualitative Study

According to the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center, workplace violence (WPV) is divided into 4 main categories: Type I, Type II, Type III, and Type IV [1]. Type II (client-on-worker) WPV is the most common in health care settings [2], involving violence committed by patients, their family members, or visitors. Compared to other health care professionals, nurses in particular are at a higher risk of being abused in the workplace since they spend more time with patients [3].

Sexual Health Determinants During the Life Course and Migration of Haitian-Origin People in French Guiana: Protocol for the Parcours d’Haïti Biographical and Transdisciplinary Study

Sexual Health Determinants During the Life Course and Migration of Haitian-Origin People in French Guiana: Protocol for the Parcours d’Haïti Biographical and Transdisciplinary Study

In the case of mental health, we explored the mental health problems of migrants in French Guiana, existing health care services, obstacles encountered, violence experienced, and its link to sexual health. The interviews were in part recorded using a smartphone, anonymized, and fully transcribed. An ethnographic dimension was also added to the qualitative axis with active observation in Haitian migrants’ neighborhoods.

Exploring the Use of an Augmented Reality Device Learning Tool for Multidisciplinary Staff Training on Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence: Postintervention Qualitative Evaluation

Exploring the Use of an Augmented Reality Device Learning Tool for Multidisciplinary Staff Training on Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence: Postintervention Qualitative Evaluation

According to the UK Government, all behaviors, inflicted on anyone perceived to be of a controlling, coercive, harmful, or sexual nature can be defined as DA or sexual violence (SV) [10]. Whilst the majority of survivors of DA are women [2], it is important that we do not neglect the experiences of those from the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community, who are also more vulnerable to familial abuse and honor-based violence [11].

A Digital Parenting Intervention With Intimate Partner Violence Prevention Content: Quantitative Pre-Post Pilot Study

Violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC) are global issues with severe, long-lasting consequences, which affect individuals and communities worldwide. Global reports have revealed alarmingly high rates of both forms of violence [1,2]. Prevalence estimates of intimate partner violence (IPV), which is the most common form of VAW, have found that >27% of ever-partnered women aged >15 years have experienced physical IPV, sexual IPV, or both at least once in their life [1].

Evaluating an App-Based Intervention for Preventing Firearm Violence and Substance Use in Young Black Boys and Men: Usability Evaluation Study

Similarly, research consistently shows a significant association between substance use and increased risk of firearm violence. Specifically, alcohol and drug use are linked to higher odds of firearm ownership, risky behaviors with firearms, and perpetration of firearm violence [11,12].
