Abstract

The VIPROM project: “Victim protection in medicine: Exploiting practical knowledge of medical staff to enhance the multi-professional contact with victims of domestic violence” has set ambitious goals of developing and implementing training modules (medical curricula) specifically tailored to the needs of medical and healthcare professionals in five countries to provide appropriate and responsive support to victims of domestic violence (DV). Medical and healthcare professionals play an important role in improving the health and safety of victims through early detection, adequate care and referral to specialised victim protection services. Thus, the main aims of the VIPROM project consist of developing curricula tailored to the specific needs of the medical sector, implementing these curricula, and developing train-the-trainer programmes to teach these curricula. To safeguard adherence to the highest standards in fulfilling these goals a mixed-method evaluation strategy including the perspective of trainers, participants and experts was developed by project partner IKF. An overview of this strategy is presented in this document, i.e. an abbreviated version of Deliverable D5.1 Evaluation Strategy Report. This evaluation strategy aims to assess the quality and scope of the contents of the various curricula develope as well as the quality and impact of the implementation of the various curricula for all stakeholder groups across all six training sites. The first section will elaborate on the evaluation of the contents of the curricula. The second section introduces the evaluation of the curricula piloting, i.e. the trainings themselves. As far as the evaluation of the curricula piloting, i.e. trainings is concerned, this deliverable sets out the overall strategy, rationale and methodology, but refrains from providing detailed guidelines for practical implementation as these can be only targeted more efficiently once details of the trainings are developed in all partner countries.
