Also in this Alert:

Poised for Prevention: Advancing Promising Approaches to Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence

In September 2006, Prevention Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation convened leaders from across the country to develop a vision for primary prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV).  Showcasing the preliminary conclusions from that gathering, Poised for Prevention: Advancing Promising Approaches to Primary Prevention of Intimate Partner Violence explores what communities can do to prevent IPV before it occurs, primary prevention efforts within immigrant communities, and recommended actions to build national momentum for primary prevention of IPV.
