1. Development and Evaluation of a Trauma-Informed Women's Health Education Program for Intimate Partner Violence Survivors: A Mixed-Methods Study.
PMID:日期:2026-10-03Women with a history of intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease, human papillomavirus (HPV), cervical cancer, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which we collectively termed women's health issues (WHIs). This study aimed to educate IPV survivors through a trauma-informed, WHI education program tailored to the needs and experiences of IPV victims, based on focus group data. An education program was created using data from 10 focus groups ( = 38), and these interactive presentations on WHIs were presented to IPV survivors ( = 69). Participants completed demographic surveys, including questions about physician acknowledgment of IPV as a risk factor for chronic conditions, and pre-post tests to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational sessions. Education session data revealed that 39% of participants had never heard of HPV, 38% had not received a Pap smear in the last 3 years, and 15% did not know where to get tested for HIV. Only 15% ( = 10) of participants reported that their physician acknowledged IPV as a risk factor for disease. Following the health education, there was a significant normalized gain of 55.66%, with paired tests comparing pretest/posttest scores supporting understanding of WHIs ( < .01). Tailored education modules about WHIs proved effective in educating women who have experienced IPV. Future iterations will focus on topics informed by participant responses, such as diabetes mellitus, neurological disorders, reproductive health, and gastrointestinal diseases. This study opens avenues for further exploration of the connection between IPV and health initiatives.

2. Marginalization and Risk: Exploring the Relationships Between Immigrant Status and Generation and Crime Victimization.
PMID:日期:2026-08-31The association between immigration and crime has been at the forefront of political and policy debate in recent years. Given the rapid growth of Asian and Hispanic immigrants and the marginalized socioeconomic position many in these subgroups face, there is an urgent need for a systematic understanding of the victimization experiences faced across different generations of Asian and Hispanic immigrant subgroups. This study fills the gap in the literature to date by (a) investigating variations in the victimization of violent and property crime among immigrants of different statuses (e.g., authorized immigrants, unauthorized immigrants, and second-generation immigrants); (b) examining victimization across various race/ethnicity (e.g., Hispanic and Asian) subgroups; and (c) identifying community-level characteristics that contribute to victimization. This study uses a representative cross-sectional survey of residents' victimization experiences in the city of San Jose, California. Specifically, we use a stratified multistage sampling method to select our sample from 80 primary sample clusters. We find that authorized first-generation immigrants have the lowest risk for several forms of victimization. Several important implications of the methods and findings are discussed, and suggestions for future research are offered.

3. The Effects of Audio-Guided Mindful Meditation on Physical Aggression Perpetration: Is It Effective for Everyone?
PMID:日期:2026-08-31We examined whether the effects of a brief, guided mindful meditation (MM) exercise on aggression perpetration differed based on an individual's baseline ability to nonjudgmentally observe the present moment (i.e., dispositional mindfulness). One hundred two college students (56.1% women; 78.9% White) completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and were randomly assigned to either a one-time 15-minute audio-guided meditation, mindful condition, or control condition before completing a shock-based laboratory aggression paradigm involving provocation by an ostensible opponent. All participants were coded as having either high or low levels of dispositional mindfulness based on a mean split of their MAAS score. Results indicated that participants with high levels of dispositional mindfulness displayed significantly less aggression in the MM condition relative to the control condition ( = .64). In contrast, participants with low levels of dispositional mindfulness displayed more aggression in the mindful condition relative to the control condition ( = .45), although this effect was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that individuals' baseline ability to nonjudgmentally observe the present moment has important implications for determining who may and may not benefit from audio-guided MM as a brief intervention for aggression.

4. Preliminary Findings from the Evaluation of Community-Based Project Respect: Addressing Gaps in Adolescent Dating and Gender-Based Violence Prevention.
PMID:日期:2026-08-11School-based prevention programs focused on reducing adolescent dating and gender-based violence (DGBV) have seen substantial growth in recent years. From 2018 to 2023, we used community-based participatory research (CBPR) to evaluate 's Healthy Relations and Consent and Safer Spaces programs. This study assessed changes in students' knowledge, skills, and behaviors related to consent after participating in the Healthy Relations and Consent Workshops and found increased understanding of consent, greater confidence in boundary setting, and improved bystander intervention skills. Students also perceived a more positive school culture around consent. Educators who participated in the Safer Spaces Workshop reported enhanced confidence in fostering inclusive environments for students and a deeper understanding of gender expansiveness and sexuality. Our preliminary findings suggest that a whole-school approach to consent education benefits both students and educators and should be included as part of the education of middle and high school students and their educators. Additionally, using CBPR, especially including the voices of gender-diverse students, is important and should be prioritized in future DGBV prevention efforts.

5. Reported Forcible Rape Rate in the United States From 1990 to 2023: Evidence of Persistence and Trends.
PMID:日期:2026-07-15In this article, we examine the historical evolution of the reported forcible rape rate in the United States using annual data from 1991 to 2023. Using fractional integration methods, we determine if shocks are expected to be transitory or permanent. The results indicate high levels of persistence when using the entire sample period; however, allowing for breaks, a single break is detected in 2010, with a significantly different behavior before and after the break. Thus, before that year, the trend is significantly positive, and the order of integration is very close to 1; after 2010, however, the trend becomes negative, and the order of integration is much lower than 1, showing a certain degree of reversion to the mean. This may be explained by methodological changes in the way sexual assaults are counted and by the revised definition of forcible rape that was introduced.

6. Police Officers' Reasoned Actions and Their Implementation of the National Anti-Domestic Violence Law in China.
PMID:日期:2026-07-15China's National Anti-Domestic Violence Law (Anti-DV Law) represents a major step forward in protecting survivors, yet its enforcement relies on police officers as frontline responders. Guided by the theory of planned behavior (TPB), this study examined the relationships between recognition of the importance of domestic violence intervention, leader support, discretion, and officers' willingness to enforce the Anti-DV Law. Using survey data from 1,979 officers across five provinces in China, structural equation modeling showed that the modified TPB model fit well. Officers' recognition of the importance of domestic violence intervention and leader support were positively associated with officers' willingness to implement the Anti-DV Law, with officers' discretion emerging as an important pathway. In addition, exploratory analyses identified moderating roles of tolerance for domestic violence and training experiences. These findings highlight the importance of supervisory and institutional support and appropriate training in strengthening police enforcement of the Anti-DV Law.

7. Public Perception of Sexual Assault: Examining the Role of Assault Severity and Survivor Sexuality.
PMID:日期:2026-07-15Sexual assault has a variety of negative health outcomes for survivors, and risks and stigma are especially high for women in sexual minority communities. This study examined how public perceptions of sexual assault were affected by the survivor's sexual orientation and the severity of the assault, using an online vignette study. A total of 238 participants (~80% White and 53.1% male) were recruited via Prolific and responded to questions about a hypothetical scenario. Both the severity of the assault and participant perceptions of queer communities significantly affected perceptions of the need for help and potential health consequences after an assault. The findings highlight the need to reduce stigma to increase support for survivors, especially queer survivors.

8. Through a Gendered Lens: A Pilot Study of Participant Characteristics and Bystander Education Outcomes in the Mentors in Violence Prevention Program for College Student Leaders.
PMID:日期:2026-07-15Over the past 2 decades, bystander-focused violence prevention programs have proliferated across various sectors, yet bystander programs that are expressly gender-transformative remain understudied, particularly on U.S. college campuses. Casey et al. argue that outreach and recruitment efforts and whether these programs foster identities as social change agents over time are especially understudied components of gender-transformative programs. Based on a non-quasi-experimental, single-group, repeated-measures design without a control group, this pilot study engages these questions by investigating participant characteristics and leadership program outcomes of one gender-transformative bystander program-the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) program-as applied to student leaders in athletics, fraternity and sorority life, and residential life. We found that student leaders came to the training with varying gender ideologies and leadership experience that are important considerations in future outreach and recruitment efforts. The 1-day MVP program also produced significant improvements from pre- to posttest in activist outcomes for women and men and for the three student leadership groups. Yet, on several program outcomes, training effects waned 3 months later, women benefitted more than men, and gender ideology interacted with peer group to shape program gains. The article concludes with reflections on the implications of these findings for gender-transformative work with college peer groups often labeled "at higher risk" for sexual assault; the centrality of gender, gender ideology, and other peer group characteristics to recruitment and outreach efforts; and future research and practical applications for sustaining activist education on college campuses.

9. Considering Exceptional Circumstance Withdrawal Policies for Student Victims Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: A Brief Report.
PMID:日期:2026-07-01Rising tuition and fees have increased the expense of postsecondary education. Many students also experience victimization that may undermine academic success. University policies-such as exceptional circumstance withdrawal policies-are important to consider for students who need additional support. However, it is paramount that these policies are implemented with a trauma-informed lens. This brief report uses data from the Challenges of Safety and Transitions Study to describe the educational consequences of victimization. Given these consequences, it then discusses the importance of exceptional circumstance withdrawal policies and offers recommendations to ensure such withdrawal policies are trauma-informed and implemented to benefit student retention and academic achievement.

10. Gender Differences in Gun Ownership and Practices Associated With Sexual Assault and Other Violent Victimization.
PMID:日期:2026-07-01Gun ownership is often motivated by a desire to protect oneself and one's family from perceived threats. These perceived dangers may include hypothetical or future scenarios and can be based on personal experiences of victimization. In this article, we extend the extant body of literature assessing the linkages between criminal victimization and firearm ownership and related behaviors, leveraging data from the Guns in American Life Survey. In particular, we examine whether ever being a victim of sexual assault-by itself or also experiencing other forms of violence is associated with gun ownership and practices and whether these patterns vary by gender. Our dependent variables include firearm ownership and related behaviors (i.e., firearm storage methods, loaded status, and carrying). Our findings present a mix of both expected and surprising outcomes. The type of victimization plays a significant role in understanding patterns of gun ownership and behaviors. Interestingly, experiencing rape alone was positively associated with only one outcome-access to a loaded gun for males-and negatively associated with one outcome-male victims' gun ownership. Experiencing sexual assault and another form of violent victimization was positively associated with most outcomes. Additionally, gender differences emerge in these relationships, suggesting that men and women may respond differently to victimization when it comes to firearm ownership and usage. We address these findings and conclude with a discussion of policy implications.
