Children and teens learn: • to recognize and avoid potential danger; • to be safe with technology; • to walk, stand and move with awareness and • to deal with bullies and peer pressure and to confidence; avoid bullying others; • to deal with emotional coercion, intimidation • to use their voices and their bodies to and bribery; stay safe; • how and when to set clear, strong boundaries • to tell an adult if they feel unsafe and to with people they know and strangers; persist until they get the help they need. • to tell an adult if someone talks about having a weapon or threatens to harm another person; The level of care and attention the instructors give to each child ensures they not only have a great time but they actually learn and understand. 2015 Kidpower workshop attendee Kidpower by the numbers In the last program year (September 2015 through 2,493 INDIVIDUALS TRAINED June 2016): 65% of all students received needed financial 1,326 1,167 assistance through grants and donations CHILDREN & TEENS ADULTS & CAREGIVERS 57% in community programs experienced 1,117 in 833 in previous bullying, abuse or assault Colorado Springs Colorado Springs 396 people were surveyed regarding the quality of 209 in Metro Denver 334 in Metro Denver our school programs: More than 46,100 trained since 1994 99.7% agreed the workshop was very useful for their children and increased their children’s level of awareness and understanding about interpersonal safety 100% agreed their children have learned Kidpower skills that are applicable in real life situations 99.1% agreed they have learned new ways to talk to their children about interpersonal safety 100% agreed the instructors were knowledgeable about safety education and taught the workshop in a clear and enthusiastic manner and would recommend Kidpower to other families 57 SCHOOL/AGENCY PROGRAMS (12 in Metro Denver) 13 COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS 5 SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAMS This program removes shame and 10 empowers kids to be courageous.

  • Prevalence of Intimate Partner Reproductive Coercion in the United States: Racial and Ethnic Differences

Published in final edited form as: J Interpers Violence. ; : 886260519888205. doi:10.1177/0886260519888205. Prevalence of Intimate Partner Reproductive Coercion in the United States: Racial and Ethnic Differences Kathleen C. Basile, PhD1, Sharon G. Smith, PhD1, Yang Liu, PhD1, Elizabeth Miller, MD, PhD2, Marcie-jo Kresnow, MS1 1Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA 2University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract Reproductive coercion (RC) is a specific type of intimate partner violence (IPV). Although clinical studies have highlighted women’s experiences of RC, we know little about its national prevalence and differences in prevalence by sex category and race/ethnicity. Data are from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), years 2010 to 2012. NISVS is an ongoing, nationally representative random-digit-dial telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized English- or Spanish-speaking U.S. adult population. This article reports the national lifetime and 12-month prevalence of two RC victimization measures, and proportions among IPV victims. T tests were used to examine differences in estimates across racial/ethnic groups. In the United States, 9.7% of men and 8.4% of women experienced any RC by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Men reported more commonly than women that a partner tried to get pregnant when the man did not want her to; women reported higher prevalence of partner condom refusal. Examination by race/ ethnicity revealed that non-Hispanic (NH) Black women and men had significantly higher lifetime prevalence of both RC types than all other groups; in the last 12 months, NH Blacks had significantly higher prevalence across the board than NH Whites.

The authors examined the prevalence and characteristics of rape-related pregnancy in U.S. women and its association with intimate partner reproductive coercion. Methods: Data years 2010–2012 are pooled from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, a telephone survey of U.S. adults. Accounting for complex survey design, in 2017, authors estimated the prevalence of vaginal rape–related pregnancy for U.S. women overall and by race/ethnicity. The authors also examined the proportion of rape-related pregnancy among victims of vaginal rape overall, by perpetrator type and by presence of reproductive coercion in the context of intimate partner rape.
