"This paper briefly examines the available research and practice literature on frameworks for understanding domestic violence, risk and protective factors for adult domestic violence, and the few efforts geared toward primary prevention in this domain. It mentions secondary and tertiary prevention efforts in this field but does not review them. It ends by pointing to program and policy directions for future primary prevention efforts."

This brief document describes the difference between outcome and process evaluation, distinctions between goals, objectives, and outcomes, and how to select outcomes that make sense for domestic violence programs.

This Blueprint is a framework to identify the range of roles and partnerships in which stakeholders can engage and activities that will prevent violence in all its forms, including child and elder abuse, intimate partner violence, date rape and sexual assault, suicide, youth and community violence, and hate violence.

This document serves to build momentum for a national primary prevention strategy to prevent intimate partner violence.

This manual provides a step-by-step approach to understanding how cost-benefit thinking can be applied to domestic violence prevention. Each chapter offers an overview, definition and discussion of relevant terms, statistics and examples, and user-friendly worksheets.

It has sections focused on young children, pre-teens and teenagers, young adults, older adults, adult survivors, and health and human service professionals. It has "additional resources" lists of internet (p.90-100), poster and video resources (p.101- 134) and updated resources (p. 145 - 146). It has a section on publishers and distributors(p. 135 -144).

Before even beginning any evaluation efforts, all programs should consider three important issues: (1) how you will protect the confidentiality and safety of the survivors providing you information, (2) how to be respectful when gathering and using information, and (3) how you will address issues of diversity in your evaluation plan.

This brief document describes the key distinctions between research and evaluation and describes the utility of each for domestic violence programs.
