Children's Experiences of Interventions Following Exposure to Domestic Violence: A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews

• In Event: Gender, Crime and Justice Working Group Panel 10: Family Violence: experiences, assessments and interventions

Abstract

Children exposed to domestic violence suffer adverse effects on their physical, mental, and social well-being. Despite interventions, systematic reviews reveal outcome variations due to diverse study populations, interventions, and measured outcomes. A comprehensive search will span electronic databases (e.g., MEDLINE, PsycINFO), grey literature sources, and relevant websites. Data synthesis will entail statistical pooling or narrative synthesis based on study heterogeneity.
The review will illuminate intervention effectiveness and identify areas for further research, thus informing healthcare providers, policymakers, and advocates. The paper here reporting on the findings of the systematic review aims to enrich the evidence base regarding interventions for children exposed to domestic violence and seek to empower stakeholders to enhance outcomes for children and families.
