Steinman's research on family violence benefits national program for victims

Posted 04/20/2009

Kenneth Steinman, clinical assistant professor in the College's Division of Health Behavior and Health Promotion, is using data from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to help state agencies understand the scope and consequences of domestic violence across Ohio.

At a news conference April 3 with Attorney General Richard Cordray, Steinman discussed how he is using these data. Steinman hopes to summarize the data clearly and accurately to improve state and local planning efforts. He believes this is the first time police reporting data on domestic violence calls has been analyzed in this way.

Steinman helped write a white paper for the Ohio Family Violence Prevention project, an initiative of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio. Download the white paper.
