On-line training and resource package for domestic violence (DV) screening for Community based Health Care Providers of Perinatal Women

The aims of this research project are to develop, implement and evaluate an innovative, interactive on-line education and training package for non-government, community based Health Care Providers (HCPs) on Domestic Violence (DV) screening and intervention. There are multiple reasons that Health Care Providers (HCPs) do not include routine screening for DV in their care practices; however, what is not apparent is what is being done to address the barriers to HCPs screening and intervention for DV. Therefore, this project is based on addressing what we already know of the barriers for DV screening and intervention by developing and implementing an innovative, accessible and sustainable on-line education and training resource package to increase knowledge and confidence in DV screening and intervention, in a time effective manner, that does not impede the quality of the education and training. This resource can be tailored to combine with face to face training, but may potentially reduce the length of time required for the face to face sessions, thereby fitting more readily into the HCPs busy schedules.TBC
