With
the support of Health Policy Institute of Ohio and funding by
the Anthem Foundation of Ohio, the Ohio Family Violence Prevention
Project began in January 2007. The project’s goals are:
- to increase awareness of the scope and consequences of family violence in Ohio;
- to identify realistic and promising policies and programs for prevention; and
- to build support for implementing recommended policies and programs.
The main product of these efforts is the White Paper on Improving Family Violence Prevention in Ohio.
To
generate this work, the project directors convened a working group of
leading academic researchers, agency personnel and practitioners. The
group met quarterly in Columbus to insure that our descriptions of
family violence, prevention and the related recommendations are both
realistic and based on the most current, best available evidence.
On
January 3, 2008, the project members completed a draft of the document
which was then circulated to an external review panel of researchers,
agency leaders and practitioners throughout Ohio and across the United
States. After another series of revisions, the White Paper publicly
debuted at a conference at The Ohio State University in Columbus on
February 19, 2008.
