Good morning all,

Yes to everything Holly said. I'll add that though we ultimately are seeking to change behavior, we right now able to, at the very least, map changes in knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs to the risk and protective factor research for SV perpetration. So, while the research is not entirely satisfying for us at this point, we can use good, high quality short and intermediate term program evaluation measures to make a case that changes in knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs in a population over time does correlate with what we know about mitigation of modifiable risk factors.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Jen

Folks do tend to want a direct correlation between a training delivered and behavior change in the group who received the intervention but few of us have the ability yet to measure behavior change. Hopefully our climate surveys, repeated over time, will provide meaningful data on a whole population scale. Until that time, I usually offer our logic model that describes how we intend for our interventions to have impact on victimization and perpetration rates and then offer data on the effectiveness of those interventions as they're currently being measured.

Colleagues,

When presented with the following question, what are the most impactful data sources you would share in response?   

"Is there even any evidence to prove that prevention efforts work to prevent sexual violence?" 

Thank you in advance for your helpful feedback!  

Respectfully, 

Sarah

P.S. Note I asked for what data sources you would share in response, though I'm sure there may be some other things we might all be inclined to say in response to this type of question... :)
