This publication from the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence was written to help the state of Rhode Island prioritize the primary prevention of intimate partner violence (IPV). Its expansive vision aligns with emerging public health science on how to prevent IPV before it happens in the first place, before people ever become victims or perpetrators of abuse. This resource can help people, groups, organizations, and systems see how their goals, work, or interests connect to IPV prevention, perhaps in surprising or unexpected ways.
