“…This essentially consists in asking a lot of stakeholders (e.g., experience-based experts, professionals, clinicians, researchers) about what they think experiential knowledge consists of. (for recent examples, see 2,4,13 ). However, this route is fallible in that it assumes that people 'know' what experiential knowledge consists of, and that if we simply ask enough individuals then an uncontested concept would eventually emerge.…”

Despite experience‐based expertise being increasingly common in health care, what experiential knowledge consists of remains a topic for debate. Here I propose a philosophical approach to clarify experiential knowledge, drawing on an analogous debate in philosophy of mind, which similarly targets the intuition that experience may generate unique knowledge. I outline the philosophical debate and explicate some relevant ideas for health care, so as to (a) evaluate whether and to what extent this analogous debate is helpful, and (b) supplement existing ideas on experiential knowledge with a philosophical analysis.

“…Being an expert by experience is considered empowering for victim-survivors, enabling them to take control of their experience and to challenge victim-blaming narratives (Jones & Pietilä, 2020). The knowledge generated through engagement with experts by experience is thought to be essential because it can both challenge and complement traditional empirical knowledge generated through social science research, and instead capture victim-survivors’ intersectional experiences of the service system (Kiili & Itäpuisto, 2022). Policymakers are then able to translate this experiential knowledge into improving service delivery.…”

Policymakers are increasingly calling on victim-survivors of child sexual abuse to consult on prevention initiatives, including perpetration-focused prevention efforts like Stop it Now! However, very little is known about the perspectives of victim-survivors on perpetration-focused prevention and whether they support such initiatives. This study was informed by the research question: How do victim-survivors of child sexual abuse perceive perpetration-focused prevention, including the Stop it Now! program? Sixteen Australian victim-survivors participated in an individual, one-hour interview and the data were analysed according to thematic analysis. Four themes emerged through the data analysis: Core of repulsion; Doubt and dismissal; Conditions for congruence; and Arriving at acceptability. These themes are represented as a spiral from the first theme at the centre to the last at the outer edge, reflecting a process of rationalisation. Their initial reaction was a sense of revulsion to perpetration-focused prevention, but their final position was one of conditional support.
