简要总结
Using a participatory action research design, this study examines the process and impact of implementing an evidence-informed, strengths-based, trauma- and violence-informed outreach program with women at greatest risk of health and social inequities to mitigate the effects of multiple forms of violence in their lives. Through collaboration among community service leaders and staff, women with lived or living experience of gender-based violence, and researchers, this project aims to improve the capacity of organizations to build and sustain effective and trusting relationships with women in order to foster health, well-being, safety, and increased ability to independently navigate their support needs.
详细描述
Using collaborative research activities, an advanced model of the STRENGTH intervention developed in earlier community-based studies is being tested. That evidence showed that women have unique strengths and abilities in navigating their safety, health and well-being, and that a strengths-based approach is critical to communicate respect and build trusting relationships. Trust facilitates women's engagement and retention in health and social care and enhances their capacities to independently navigate these systems. Appropriate, safe, and responsive outreach can effectively improve safety, reduce overdose deaths, and enhance engagement with health and social care.
The study involves a case-based mixed method design to test an empirically driven model for outreach with women affected by violence, through a series of longitudinal studies with diverse sub-groups of women in differing social and geographical contexts. The two-year intervention study is embedded in a larger 7-year national project aimed at building capacity of outreach programs to prevent and mitigate the effects of gender-based violence and advance the theory and practice of community-based, participatory action research.
Intervention-specific Research Questions:
- How effective is this outreach program in:
- building trusting relationships with women?
- supporting women to achieve their self-identified priorities and goals (short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals) in ways that foster safety, autonomy and rights to self-determination?
- What factors enable or confound the success of the outreach intervention?
