TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Outcomes of short course interprofessional training in domestic violence and child protection JO - Violence against women A1 - Szilassy, Eszter A1 - Carpenter, John A1 - Patsios, Demi A1 - Hackett, Simon SP - 1370 EP - 1383 VL - 19 IS - 11 N2 - The interrelationship between domestic violence and child protection is well established, yet deficiencies in interprofessional collaboration have been reported and training is advocated as a solution. This study evaluates the outcomes of short interagency and interprofessional training in domestic abuse. Participants' attitudes and knowledge were assessed using a self-report scale and compared in a double-baseline time-series design. Participants (N = 177) were recruited from a range of agencies in England. There were consistent, statistically significant improvements in participants' attitudes, knowledge, and self-confidence between the start and end of course (p < .001). The long-term outcomes of training and the implementation of learning, however, remain uncertain.
