  1. Research Agenda Project (RAP):Setting a global violence prevention research agenda on behalf of VPA Masako Tanaka, Ph.D. McMaster University on behalf of the RAP group Cape town, South Africa September 6-7 2011

  2. Aim • To establish a global violence prevention research agenda on behalf of VPA • Next 5 years • Focus on interpersonal violence (6 types) • Low-, middle-, and high-income countries

  3. Methods: Delphi consensus development • Step 1: Generate research questions • Step 2: Compile items and create survey • Step 3: Identify survey respondents • Step 4: Administer the online survey • Step 5: Score items • Step 6: Develop the second survey • Step 7: Summarize results for publication

  4. Methods - Step 1Generate research questions • Participants (RAP group and their associates): Total 97 • From LMICs (17): n=23 • From HICs (14): n=74 • List of research questions • For LMICs: 108 items • For HICs: 50 items

  5. Methods – Step 2Compile items and create survey • Approach to compile items: • Combined all economic levels • Grouped lower-concept items together • Public health approach to group items • Survey is created for each abuse type • Cross-cutting area relevant to all types

  6. Methods – Step 2Compile items and create survey • Survey structure: • Section 1: • Demographics • Choose income levels (LMICs, HICs, or all) • Choose type of abuse • Section 2: for selected abuse types: • Rank the priority among 4 public health steps • Then rank items in order of priority within each step • Section 3: • Cross-cutting areas (methodology, knowledge translation, law)

  7. Methods – Step 3Survey respondents identified by RAP

  8. Questions • Identify the survey respondents • Should we increase respondents from LMICs? OR reduce respondents from HICs? • Can we ask respondents to forward a link to the survey to their colleagues (from LMICs)? • Should we distribute the survey to relevant organizations such as UN women? • Should we make the survey available for general public to respond? • Should we seek feedback from general public about the results of the survey?

  9. Next steps and time line • Administer online survey in mid September 2011, for 2 weeks • Analyze results • Send second survey • Prepare draft publication (summarizing Delphi process and results) • Prepare draft publication (Document suitable for general public summarizing research priorities)
