Section of Research Proposal
Institution: NYU’s Marron Institute, 2017
Original Prompt: Hi Angie:
Kelly and I are working on developing a trial to test a potential early prevention method for intimate partner violence. We are working with a police department in Kansas, and have generated a draft trial description in which the department would follow-up on initial calls that don’t result in arrests. Currently, the dept. does not follow-up on such calls.
Anyway, we need to look at the literature to see if follow-up contact has been tested as a prevention/intervention method.

Purpose : This document investigates the implementation of follow-up calls as a preventative measure in intimate partner violence arrests.
