Violence Against Women and their Children

Knowledge and Capacity to Address Five Types of Family Violence: A National MSW Study

Saturday, October 26, 2024
10:30 AM – 11:00 AM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 10A
This poster provides results of a national survey examining MSW students’ perceived knowledge and capacity to address five types of family violence (child abuse, child neglect, intimate partner violence, sibling violence, and child-to-parent violence). Results suggest the need to examine perceived knowledge and capacity with actual ability in future research.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe MSW students’ responses to their perceived knowledge of and capacity to address family violence types in a national sample of MSW students.
  2. Identify which types of family violence MSW students note having less knowledge about as well as types of violence students note lower perceived capacity to address.
  3. Explain the need for more educational research to examine the mechanisms by which students perceived knowledge of and perceived capacity to address family violence is associated with actual ability.
