Key findings: Only 32% of studies used formal implementation science frameworks, and sustainability was the least studied domain (just 7.5% of studies). We need longer-term funding and stronger researcher-practitioner partnerships to bridge this gap. 👇

New(ish) paper! 🚨 Our scoping review shows that while we know WHAT works to prevent violence against women & children, we're still learning HOW to sustain & scale these interventions effectively.

What happens in a two-tier system of care where some people pay and others don't?
- Care homes end up providing better care for the richest;
- They open in the richest areas;
- Something people discover when their personal savings run out...

It’s not about antisemitism. It creates antisemitism. Remember, Trump considered the neo Nazi March full of “good people”. By attributing negative acts by the government in the name of so called “antisemitism” it guarantees the existence and growth of such sentiment. They know what they’re doing.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.
Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".
Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".
We need to sound the alarm.

Hot off the press - check out our new evidence review outlining the link between poor mental health in caregivers + #VAC and how addressing it can be an effective #violenceprevention strategy.

We just happened to publish an article that shows what happens when an electoral autocracy co-opts humanitarian organizations and uses them for its goals.
Autocrats don’t do humanitarian aid. They do control. #USAID

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.
We’re excited to connect with you on Bluesky and continue strengthening capacity in the violence prevention field!
