Family violence prevention

Participating journal: BMC Public Health

BMC Public Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on family violence prevention. Submissions are welcomed from local, state, national and global contexts.

Family violence, encompassing intimate partner violence, child abuse, elder abuse, and other forms of domestic violence, is a pervasive public health concern worldwide. It inflicts physical, emotional, and psychological harm on individuals, families, and communities, with far-reaching consequences. Effective prevention efforts are crucial to breaking the cycle of violence and creating safer and healthier family environments. With a focus on evidence-based research, interventions, policies and practices, this collection seeks to illuminate the complex dynamics underlying family violence and promote effective strategies for prevention and intervention. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Child abuse including childhood sexual abuse and female genital cutting

Adverse childhood experiences/Protective childhood experiences

Teen dating violence

Human trafficking with family member involvement (e.g., commercial sexual exploitation of children)

Intimate partner violence

Intimate partner homicide/femicide

Elder abuse

Technology and family violence

Community-based approaches to family violence prevention

Prevention among marginalized populations

Policy and legislative approaches for family violence prevention

Evaluation and measurement of prevention programs

This collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 Good Health & Well-Being and SDG 5 Gender Equality.

All manuscripts submitted to this journal, including those submitted to collections and special issues, are assessed in line with our editorial policies and the journal’s peer review process. Reviewers and editors are required to declare competing interests and can be excluded from the peer review process if a competing interest exists.
