Gender-based violence (GBV) and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have serious health, social, and economic consequences. Despite clear evidence that they are global issues, current prevention and response efforts remain inadequate.
This study explores how improved training can help address these challenges by evaluating the Community Agency Internship Program (CAIP) of the Alliance Against Violence and Adversity (AVA), a health research training platform that funds graduate student interns in community agencies focused on GBV and ACEs interventions in Canada.
