Care on Campus (CoC): Screening for Intimate Partner Violence within Student Healthcare Settings<\/a>\u201d to improve Âé¶¹Ó³»´«Ã½\u2019s ability to identify and support college students who are experiencing violence in their relationships.\u00a0The project received initial funding by the\u00a0Elizabeth Morse Genius Foundation.<\/p>\n\u201cA lot of college campuses don’t use screenings and if they do, they are not relevant to college students,\u201d Backes says. \u201cHowever, it is recommended that screening happens for people 14 and older, and college is a great place to screen because you have a population, a young adult population, and that typically is when the onset of certain types or forms of interpersonal violence first occur.\u201d<\/p>\n
The project is currently in a pilot stage in which students who have appointments at the Student Health Services can opt to fill out the screener.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur collective goal is that we create something usable that can be implemented beyond Student Health Services settings, such as being used, for example, by college athletic trainers or in college counseling centers,\u201d Backes says.<\/p>\n
The data gathered will help researchers and Student Health Services improve efforts to assist students who are experiencing abuse in their relationships and educate them on resources, Backes says.<\/p>\n
Students who are willing to participate in the project will remain anonymous and will not have anything linked to their medical files.<\/p>\n
The project encourages students, whether or not they decide to participate, to reach out and talk about their relationships if they have any doubts or concerns.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it’s really important for students to get resources, or to learn about resources because sometimes it’s just knowledge transfer.\u201d Backes says. \u201cSo, they might not seek out victim services right away, or they might not seek them out the next time, but they start to be aware that there are services like this on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
