“…Participants with a history of IPV were more likely to express strong preferences for methods that could be used independent of partners, which is consistent with research demonstrating a history of violence is associated with decreased condom or oral contraceptive use [30]. Together, these data suggest how trauma history may affect adolescent and young women's contraceptive preferences and use, and reinforce the importance of equipping staff to provide trauma-informed care in family planning settings [31].…”

Purpose: Contraceptive satisfaction may influence not only contraceptive use, but long-term engagement in care. We investigated the extent to which adolescent and young women's desired contraceptive features are associated with their current contraceptive method, and if the presence of preferred features in their current method is associated with satisfaction. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey at 5 Northern California family planning clinics, including women ages 13-24. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression identified associations between desired features and sociodemographic characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine associations between desired features and current contraceptive method, as well as the presence of desired features and satisfaction with current method.

“…From this study, an intervention named ARCHES (Addressing Reproductive Coercion in Health Settings) was designed and randomized to family planning clinics . Application of this intervention to family planning clients led to a significant increase in the perceived caring of the health care provider and confidence in the provider's ability to support patients affected by IPV and/or RC as well as more knowledge of available resources . The same intervention performed on a larger scale showed no difference in unintended pregnancy, recent IPV and/or RC, or increase in use of long‐acting reversible contraceptives, but it did improve contraceptive self‐efficacy and IPV‐related knowledge .…”

Given the epidemic proportion of those affected, the impact of gender-based violence looms large in the study of women's health. One increasingly recognized facet of such violence is reproductive coercion, defined as behavior that interferes with autonomous decision-making in areas of reproductive health. Although the body of literature illustrating the pathology of reproductive coercion is limited, growing data on harms to reproductive choice, health outcomes, and future pregnancies are a sobering appeal for greater publicity and information. This review explores existing knowledge regarding reproductive coercion, highlights areas of future study, and underscores how women's health care providers can better serve this population.

“…Although evaluation was limited and it was not always clear how, or if, this led to changes in the services provided, there was some evidence that this was perceived positively by professionals, resulting in substantial increases in the numbers of children screened at intake by child welfare and mental health professionals [31,32]. While this mainly positive evaluation mirrors the findings from trauma-informed screening/assessment initiatives in health services [43,44,45], implementation challenges were also noted with regard to IT systems, local culture, limited buy-in and the availability of evidence-based treatment. The importance of winning “hearts and minds” is evident in the wider TIC literature with some routine inquiry initiatives failing due to uncertainties about the benefits of screening, lack of clarity about how to use the information and respond to disclosures and concerns regarding a lack of availability of services for onward referral [46].…”

Trauma informed care (TIC) is a whole system organisational change process which emerged from the seminal Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, establishing a strong graded relationship between the number of childhood adversities experienced and a range of negative outcomes across multiple domains over the life course. To date, there has been no systematic review of organisation-wide implementation initiatives in the child welfare system. As part of a wider cross-system rapid evidence review of the trauma-informed implementation literature using systematic search, screening and review procedures, twenty-one papers reporting on trauma-informed implementation in the child welfare system at state/regional and organisational/agency levels were identified. This paper presents a narrative synthesis of the various implementation strategies and components used across child welfare initiatives, with associated evidence of effectiveness. Training was the TIC implementation component most frequently evaluated with all studies reporting positive impact on staff knowledge, skills and/or confidence. The development of trauma-informed screening processes, and evidence-based treatments/trauma focused services, where evaluated, all produced positive results. Whilst weaknesses in study design often limited generalisability, there was preliminary evidence for the efficacy of trauma-informed approaches in improving the mental and emotional well-being of children served by community-based child welfare services, as well as their potential for reducing caregiver stress and improving placement stability.
