Understanding the makeup of a growing field: A committee on trauma survey of the

national network of hospital-based violence intervention programs. The American

The article addresses hospital-based violence intervention programs, their

implementation, and their effectiveness in addressing IPV. To inform the American

College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACS-COT) on how trauma centers might

collaborate on this project most effectively, the authors identify the programmatic

components of existing HAVI programs and assess program and service hurdles to

implementation. The researchers discovered that hospital-based violence intervention

programs successfully address IPV, but they struggle with funding, hiring enough staff,

and gaining buy-in. The study offers insights into the implementation of HAVI programs

and what factors should be considered in the process. The findings are evidence-

supported and consistent with other studies reviewed by the authors, enhancing their

validity and reliability. However, there are limitations to the study. The sample size

adopted in the study is inadequate and limits generalization. Also, only 38 participants, all

HAVI members, were invited, resulting in a selection bias in the study. Future studies

should concentrate on finding ways to increase HVIP implementation, funding, and data

gathering. The article supports the intervention by providing information on how

hospital-based violence intervention programs can assist in preventing IPV and

suggestions on how they can be made better.

The authors explored hospital-based advocacy's impact on home-based violence,

including IPV. In addition to examining the impact on improving support access, health

outcomes, and cost-effectiveness, the authors examine how an advocacy approach

benefited domestic violence survivors in a hospital context. By working with survivors

who were less obvious to community IDVA programs, hospital IDVAs helped with earlier

intervention. The researchers found that hospital IDVAs increased referrals from medical

services and made additional health resources accessible; hospital survivors were more

likely to report abuse reductions and cessations; for hospital survivors, there were no

changes in health outcomes; hospital survivors' odds of staying safe increased by a factor

of two if they made more than five contacts with an IDVA or used at least six resources or

programs over a longer period of time; and the cost of accessing services by survivors

reduced. The methodology adopted supports the thesis and the research purpose,

bolstering the quality of the research study. Also, the findings are reported in other studies

reviewed in this article, implying consistent results, hence high reliability and validity.

However, the evaluation design and the quality of the data both had limitations. The non-

experimental methodology the researchers employed caused them to overstate the

effectiveness of the intervention. The approaches employed to estimate cost limited the

analysis because it relies on patient collection. The effectiveness of the intervention

should be the subject of further study, often using an experimental methodology.

Nonetheless, the study supports the effectiveness of the hospital-based approaches as an

intervention to addressing IPV by demonstrating with specificity the usefulness of

hospital-based advocacy interventions for treating domestic violence and abuse.

The author investigated how hospital-based advocacy programs or interventions have

affected domestic violence during the Covid-19 pandemic. The researchers looked into

how the EMPOWER program modified intervention and community case management

procedures to assist patients during the pandemic better. The findings indicate patients

had access to a range of services through EMPOWER, including crisis intervention

(84%), emotional support (89%), victim rights (53%), and advocacy for patients while

they were undergoing medical treatment (49%). The victims noted the following dangers

and risks: A total of 30% of patients reported the presenting domestic violence incident to

the police, 19% of patients seeking advocacy services claimed the perpetrator used a

weapon, including a firearm, against the victim, and 8% of patients were forced to move

or become homeless as a result of domestic violence. The study depicts true findings of

similar programs outside the study, demonstrating high validity and reliability. However,
 5

given that chosen patients are enrolled in the particular program or services, the study

suggests a selection bias, and it would be challenging to apply the findings outside of the

research context. Future studies should examine the program's effectiveness and potential

for expansion into other contexts. Despite the limitations, the article is relevant to the

research paper because it offers insightful information about one illustration of a hospital-

based intervention to deal with IPV and victims of violence.
