Funded Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs)

Overview

Child maltreatment (CM), intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), and suicide attempts (SA) have varied and serious consequences across the lifespan and represent a significant cost to individuals and society. They are widespread sources of immediate and longer term injury during early childhood and the transition from adolescence to early adulthood. Preventing CM, IPV, SV, and SA and related injuries are the foci of the Brown School’s Center for Violence and Injury Prevention (BCVIP) at Washington University newly funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1R49CE001510-01).

Our goal is to advance evidence-based:

• primary prevention of violence among young families, and
  
• intervention for childhood victims of violence to prevent potential later perpetration of violence toward themselves (SA) or others (CM, IPV, SV) as they transition to adulthood.
