UNIFEM has created the Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls that is certainly worth perusing. From the looks of the site, there are still multiple modules yet to come (including one on health and another on justice), but to date there are several live modules, and it’s beautifully searchable.

Full Text Articles in Pediatrics
Sorry to be article-heavy this week, but this month’s issue of Pediatrics has several relevant free, full-text articles available that I thought readers might be interested in. You’ll find the links after the jump.
I’m running off to Maxwell AFB, and then back to DC for the week, but before I go, time once again for this month’s edition of Articles of Note. All of these are from the August/September/October issues and electronic previews. Please note, we have one full-text article available this month, and a link to an entire journal, which is new. Trust me, you’ll want to check it out if your interests veer toward elder abuse. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Most links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.

Suggestability
First off, a thank you to everyone on the testimony webinar yesterday. What a fantastic turnout! And some really great questions, as well.
Over at NCPTC, they have a webinar next week on suggestability. It will take place September 16th at 3pm CT, and cost is $10. I’m not a peds person, but I looked at the slides (PDF), and I have to confess, I found the research and the discussion in them pretty fascinating.
Time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the July/August issues and electronic previews. It’s a bit brief this month, but there’s some good stuff, particularly on DFSA. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.
I’m back from Seoul (14 hours in coach–ugh), and although it was a truly amazing week, I’m glad to be back in the office this week, if only for a minute. There’s much to post on, starting with a couple interesting podcasts from ReachMD. They appear to be doing a series on child health issues, and I’m including a couple notables here that might be relevant to your practice.
Apologies for missing a post yesterday, but I had a busted router, and therefore, no internet connection. Had I been up and running, I would have brought you this video clip [after the jump], which I find pretty disturbing. As far as things go, I’d say breast ironing, a practice found in Cameroon (in part to theoretically prevent young women from being raped) is right up there with genital mutilation.
I’m back in the CLE for about a minute, before I head on to DC and then Portland (OR) for the week. Before I go, a couple things worth mentioning. First up is the newly released report on anti-LGBTQ hate violence, published by the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (PDF).

From the site: This workshop will address the effects of working with and responding to children who have witnessed and experienced violence, the effects of working with the people whose loved ones have been violated in the most intimate ways, and methods to reduce the risks of vicarious trauma and burnout. Register for the session here.
Time once again for Articles of Note. All of these are from the June/July issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.
Time for May and June’s Articles of Note {so sorry to have not gotten one done last month!}. All of these are from the late April/May/June issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library; or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.

Friday Odds and Ends
Don’t forget, we have a fantastic giveaway going on right now! Just leave your comment here to enter.
Happily, I am teaching for the forensic nurses in Utah today, so it should be a pretty fantastic day. What makes it better is that I will then head straight to Moab (you’ll find me here) for a bit of hiking and general relaxation for 36 hours or so before I head up to Seattle for a day of training with WCSAP. Before I head out, though, a few odds and ends to tie up the week:

The National Child Protection Training Center has a webinar coming up in July that should be fantastic for those of you working with kids: Testifying in Court will be presented July 15th at 3pm Central. Cost is $10 to register. Their events often fill, though, so be sure not to wait too long.
You know I don’t normally post live events, but since it’s the 1st time this one’s being offered I thought I would break this unwritten rule. IAFN is offering a live, SANE-P certification review course this summer and there’s still time to register. See details after the jump…but let me just say two words, people: Virginia Beach. And two more, just to get you going: Oceanfront Hotel.

Preventing Child Maltreatment
The Future of Children, a collaboration of The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and The Brookings Institution has an archived webcast of a panel presentation on preventing child maltreatment given last fall. The webcast is about 35 minutes long. They also produced a journal issue on this topic (Vol. 19, No. 2, Fall 2009)–details after the jump.
The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape will be hosting a webinar on the links between sexual abuse and online sexual behaviors of adolescents, May 13th, 10:00-12:00 ET. Participation is free, but preregistration is required. Jennifer Lee from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will be the featured presenter.
Time for April’s Articles of Note. All of these are from the late March/April/May issues and electronic previews.

Hey, Canada…
Check out your page for new info…Thanks, Sheila!
I received an email from a reader asking me to please post information about the financial cost of child abuse in the US. I’m happy to be able to post some relatively recent publications on the topic, the most specific being Prevent Child Abuse America’s 2007 report, Total Estimated Cost of Child Abuse and Neglect in the United States: An Economic Impact Study (PDF).
