Meeting Report Brussels, Belgium : 19-20 June 2006 1 Violence Prevention Alliance Participant Meeting: Meeting Report Brussels, Belgium : 19-20 June 2006 Introduction The Violence Prevention Alliance (VPA) is a network of WHO Member State governments, nongovernmental and community-based organizations, and private, international and intergovernmental agencies working to prevent violence. VPA activities aim to facilitate the development of policies, programmes and tools to implement the recommendations of the World report on violence and health in communities, countries, and regions around the world, and attempt to strengthen sustained, multi-sectoral cooperation around this shared vision for violence prevention. This was the first meeting for the VPA where the content was dedicated exclusively to Alliance topics. Its purpose was to convene VPA participants in order to brainstorm and plan for the future strategic direction of the VPA. The meeting objectives were to: Get to know participants better Develop a strategy to increase VPA impact Plan upcoming VPA activities Discuss the resources and commitment for concrete action Review of m eeting discussions Day One The meeting was opened by Monsieur Christiaan Decoster, Director-General of FPS Health, Belgium Ministry of Health. Dr Etienne Krug followed with a brief description of the VPA. Dr Alex Butchart presented the meeting aims and provided a overview of VPA aims, objectives, working methods, and achievements to date. The remainder of the morning session was dedicated to VPA participant introductions where participants detailed what their respective agency does, why they are interested in participating in the VPA, and what they believe they can contribute to the Alliance. The afternoon session started with an overview of the VPA survey findings. This led to a discussion on the strategy for increasing VPA impact. Discussion revolved around two questions: 1. How should the VPA operate? 2. What concrete products should the VPA produce? How should the VPA operate? Regarding how the VPA should operate, it was felt that there need to be a specific set of rules that will guide the Alliance. However, these rules must not be too strict at this early stage of VPA development to avoid being destructive and inhibiting creativity at a later stage. It was proposed that the Secretariat draft operating rules for the VPA and submit them to participants for approval. 2 What concrete products should the VPA produce? A number of VPA participants attended the 2nd Milestones meeting held in San Francisco in October 2005. One of the key recommendations from this meeting was that the VPA should form permanent Working Groups on various violence prevention topics. A key reason for creating these Working Groups is that they will give VPA participants more opportunity and flexibility to actively contribute with colleagues in a violence prevention area of their interest. There will be an approval process from the VPA Secretariat on starting a working group. Proposed draft guidelines have been distributed to every participant and will be finalized shortly. Regarding working group topics, there will be a ”Red Box Working Group‘ which will work to access high level government officials to place violence prevention very clearly on the international development agenda as quickly as possible. Participants for this Working Group will come from only those who can access high levels of government. September was suggested as the date by which this group should have discussed the topic (via email and telephone) and decided upon a strategy. ”Green Box Working Groups‘ will be developed as well. These Working Groups will be more operational and will provide more opportunities for everyone else to participate. ”Green box Working Groups‘ should be structured around the following operational areas which come from the recommendations of the World report on violence and health: policy, data, research, prevention, and services Day Two The morning session of the second day began with discussion on the recommendation for the VPA to form permanent working groups on various violence prevention topics. Discussion focused on the types of working groups and who should participate in them. Two participants briefly presented their working groups which are in their early stages: Mark Bellis‘ Working group on Club Health: Youth violence, Alcohol, Recreational drugs, and Nightlife. This group is for those interested in the prevention of violence associated with youth in nightlife settings. Jonathan Shepherd‘s Emergency Physicians and Trauma Surgeons Action Group for physicians committed to preventing violence as well as treating those injured in violence. Discussion turned to who should be allowed to participate in VPA Working Groups. Participation should be open to all VPA participants but also to violence prevention colleagues who are not participating in the Alliance. In addition, Working Group participation should include the consumers of the information that will result from the work of these groups. Working groups on the following topics were proposed during the meeting: School-based violence prevention 3 Family violence (so that it links subtypes of interpersonal violence together œ child abuse, intimate partner violence, elder abuse) Engaging men and boys in violence prevention Partnership development strategies to collaboratively address violence prevention issues Armed violence prevention The prevention of torture and rehabilitation of torture victims After the coffee break, the discussion of resources and participant commitment for future action continued with discussion starting about where the 3rd Milestones meeting will be. The Milestones meetings are policy oriented meetings that take place every 18 months. The next meeting should be in 2007 and a number of participants indicated that their agency would consider offering to host it. Participant Recruitment The general feeling was that the VPA has just enough participants to still be manageable and that future participant recruitment should be extremely selective and focused on getting a few more government representatives from low- and middle- income and high income countries. The costs of organizing meetings such as this one goes up as the size of the group increases. However, there are existing gaps in VPA participants as the majority of participants come from high-income countries and more LMICs should be included, particularly from South America and Asia. Another recommendation included having more foundations and perhaps corporations and multi-national companies as VPA participants to provide funding. Exchange visits Every participant indicated their willingness to host other participants in exchange visits. Recom m endations from the m eeting 1. The VPA Secretariat will draft VPA operating rules which will be submitted to and approved by participants. 2. The Secretariat will develop a more systematic way to welcome new participants to make them feel more connected. Perhaps by setting up a teleconference between new participants and a few older participants who share violence prevention interests. 3. The Secretariat will draft a 2 page description on a working group on the prevention of family violence 4. We will ask Michael Green of the Youth Consultation Service to draft a 2- page description of a Working group on school-based violence prevention 5. Participants need to indicate to the Secretariat if they are willing and interested in participating in the ”Red Box Working Group‘ Next steps It was agreed that the next steps for the VPA would include the following. 1. Complete and share this meeting report 2. Secretariat to build and circulate draft of VPA guidelines for participant approval 3. Recruit a few more country-level participants from Asia and South America 4. Start formal, moderated VPA listserv 5. Finalize guidelines for starting a working group 6. Participants will prepare 2-page proposals for working groups 4 A.

An economic evaluation of anonymised information sharing in a partnership between health services, police and local government for preventing violence-related injury Curtis Florence, Division of Violence Prevention; Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA, USA Jonathan Shepherd*, Violence and Society Research Group, School of Dentistry, Cardiff University, Cardiff CF14 4XY, UK Iain Brennan, and Department of Social Sciences, University of Hull, Hull, UK Thomas Simon Division of Violence Prevention; Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, GA, USA Abstract Objective—To assess the costs and benefits of a partnership between health services, police and local government shown to reduce violence related injury. Methods—Cost benefit analysis Results—Anonymised information sharing and use led to a reduction in wounding recorded by the police that reduced the economic and social costs of violence by £6.9 million in 2007 compared to the costs the intervention city, Cardiff UK, would have experienced in the absence of the programme. This includes a gross cost reduction of £1.25 million to the health service and £1.62 million to the criminal justice system in 2007. In contrast, the costs associated with the programme are modest: setup costs of software modifications and prevention strategies were £107,769, while the annual operating costs of the system were estimated as £210,433 (2003 UK Pound). The cumulative social benefit/cost ratio of the programme from 2003 to 2007 was £82 in benefits for each pound spent on the programme, including a benefit cost ratio of 14.8 for the Corresponding author: Jonathan Shepherd, Violence and Society Research Group, School of Dentistry, Cardiff University, Cardiff CF14 4XY, UK., [email protected]; Tel.

As part of the statutory Cardiff Community Safety Partnership it is responsible for violence prevention across the capital city of Wales. The Prevention Board has implemented many of the innovations initiated and developed by VRG. These include the use of ED data for violence prevention (the "Cardiff Model"), the substitution of annealed with toughened and polycarbonate glassware, and the partnership approach to prevention which involves the police, city government and health working together. The Prevention Board's work is associated with a 50% reduction in violence-related ED attendances in the County over the period 2002-2014. The Group has hosted visits from successive Home Secretaries and representatives of police forces, city governments and safety organisations from across the UK and overseas including from the Netherlands, the United States and Australia. The Board's agenda remains sharply focussed on achieving further reductions in violence. Current initiatives include work with city licensing authorities to improve alcohol regulation, work with third sector organisations especially the Street Pastors, the development of the pioneering Cardiff Alcohol Treatment Centre, work with the UK departments of health to implement new information standards for violence prevention and wider implementation of the Cardiff Model for information sharing and use. Standing, left to right: South Wales Police Commissioner's representative, Local Authority official, Cardiff Emergency Department senior nurse, Cardiff County Licensing official, Public Health lead, Cardiff Safety Partnership chief analyst, Cardiff Street Pastors' manager, three South Wales Police officers.

  • What Has Been the United Kingdom's Experience with Retention of Third
    J Oral Maxillofac Surg 70:48-57, 2012, Suppl 1 What Has Been the United Kingdom’s Experience With Retention of Third Molars? Tara Renton, PhD,* Mustafa Al-Haboubi, PhD,† Allan Pau, PhD,‡ Jonathan Shepherd, PhD,§ and Jennifer E. Gallagher, PhDʈ Background: In 2000, the first National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines related to third molar (M3) surgery, a commonly performed operation in the United Kingdom, were published. This followed research publications and professional guidelines in the 1990s that advised against prophylactic surgery and provided specific therapeutic indications for M3 surgery. The aim of the present report was to summarize the available evidence on the effects of guidelines on M3 surgery within the United Kingdom. Materials and Methods: Data from primary care dental services and hospital admissions in England and Wales during a 20-year period (Hospital Episode Statistics 1989/1990 to 2009/2010), and from private medical insurance companies were analyzed. The volume and, where possible, the nature of the M3 surgery activity over time were assessed together, as were the collateral effects of the guidelines, including patient age at surgery and the indications for surgery. Results: The volume of M3 removal decreased in all sectors during the 1990s before the introduc- tion of the NICE guidelines. During the 20-year period, the proportion of impacted M3 surgery decreased from 80% to 50% of admitted hospital cases. Furthermore, an increase occurred in the mean age for surgical admissions from 25.5 to 31.8 years. The change in age correlated with a change in the indications for M3 surgery during that period, with a reduction in “impaction,” but an increase in “caries” and “pericoronitis” as etiologic factors, in accordance with the NICE guidelines.
