  3. Issues: Exposure to Violence • Lack of awareness that it is a problem (specially for younger population) • Disciplinary differences • Agency “turf” issues • Personal implications of violence • Lack of skills to “talk” about domestic violence

  4. Issues: Experimental Design • Lack of skills to talk about experimental design. • Frontline providers uncomfortable about “services as usual.” • Some communities very few resources. • Minority lack of trust on research projects. • Detraction ($ and time) from intervention.

  5. Issues: Evidence-Based Interventions • Not strength-based (based on protocols) • Rigid system—restricts those delivering services • Misperception about manualized treatment (art versus science) • Lack of “context” information: belief that the population is “different” • Entrenched status
