An overview is provided of some of the pertinent issuessurrounding these types of abuse, including prevalence, incidence, consequences, and risk andprotective factors. This report highlights that to fully address family violence, interventionsmust go beyond the individual and the family to include recognition of community andsocietal factors. From a health perspective, this report identifies a number of gaps - perceivedor otherwise - in the research, approaches and responses to family violence in New Zealand.These gaps must be explored, assessed and evaluated to ensure programme accountability.Theoretical frameworks to address violence are discussed as the author combines theEcological Model and the Coordinated Community Action Model to produce a new integratedconceptual initiative. This three-dimensional model proposes a multi-levelled intersectoralapproach to eliminating family violence. Finally, this report suggests that a collaborativeapproach, integrating research, policy, advocacy and practice will sustain family violenceprevention strategies in the long-term.Fanslow, J.
