* 1. How has Prevention Connection Impacted Your Work?

Since 2005, Prevention Connection has provided an online resource on
prevention of violence against women. Through its activities, Prevention
Connection seeks to bring together a community of practitioners,
researchers and funders to advance prevention efforts. We are conducting
an online survey to find-out how members of the prevention community
have been impacted by our work. This survey should take approximately
ten to fifteen minutes to complete, and all responses will be kept
confidential.

In this interview with Dr. Dorothy Edwards, Director of the Violence
Intervention and Prevention Center at the University of Kentucky, Dr.

initiative being used in Kentucky and other states to promote behaviors,
choices, words, and attitudes that communicate an utter intolerance for
sexual violence, interpersonal violence, stalking and child abuse. You

* 4. Prevention Connection on Twitter

PreventConnect tweets highlight the themes of prevention work and the
morsels of ideas that reach us each day. In the last week, we shared
concepts from a presentation by Joe Ehrmann, referred to an article
about hegemonic masculinity in Star Wars, and tweeted about using
interactive response technology (clickers) in prevention presentations.
You can also view our most recent tweets in the side bar of our blog.
