With the support of the Health Policy Institute of Ohio and funding by the HealthPath Foundation of Ohio, the Ohio Family Violence Prevention Project (OFVPP) began in January 2007. The project’s goals are:
Towards this end, we produce a range of materials related to family violence in Ohio. We also meet regularly with practitioners, researchers, and policy-makers to discuss our findings and insure our work is both rigorous and relevant.
