Description

Ending violence is one of the targets of the United Nations SDGs; however, we lack an evidence-base for understanding the underlying mechanisms of and promising interventions for the intra- and intergenerational transmission of violence, particularly in regions with high rates of interpersonal violence such as Southern Africa. We will be presenting results of a mixed-methods three-generational cohort study in South Africa examining the underlying mechanisms for intergenerational violence continuation.
