BMC Public Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on family violence prevention. Submissions are welcomed from local, state, national and global contexts. Family violence, including intimate partner violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and other forms of domestic violence, causes profound physical, emotional, and psychological harm, affecting individuals, families, and communities worldwide. Our Collection seeks to advance the understanding and prevention of family violence through evidence-based research, interventions, policies, and practices. We welcome contributions from local, state, national, and global perspectives that explore the intricate dynamics of family violence and promote effective prevention and intervention strategies. Topics of interest include child abuse, adverse and protective childhood experiences, teen dating violence, family-involved human trafficking, intimate partner violence and homicide, elder abuse, the impact of technology, community-based approaches, prevention among marginalized populations, and policy and legislative frameworks. Additionally, we are interested in the evaluation and measurement of prevention programs.
This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 Good Health & Well-Being and SDG 5 Gender Equality.
