Pride in Prevention Evaluation Guide: A guide for evaluation to support primary prevention of family violence experienced by LGBTIQ communities

This guide builds on Pride in Prevention, which draws together existing research and policy frameworks and puts forward a conceptual model for understanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer experiences of family violence, along with priority actions for primary prevention. Additional practice guides on messaging and partnerships outline additional principles, processes and practices required for effective primary prevention of family violence experienced by LGBTIQ communities.

The Pride in Prevention Evaluation Guide builds further on this work, this time focusing attention on evaluation – valuing the work that is done, sharing successes and lessons learned, and growing primary prevention expertise and capacity together.

It has been produced by the LGBTIQ Family Violence Prevention Project, a world-leading project led by Rainbow Health Australia and funded by Family Safety Victoria.

It draws on expertise in evaluation from within and outside of the sectors engaged with primary prevention of family violence experienced by LGBTIQ communities. This includes the experience of evaluating the first phase of Rainbow Health Australia’s LGBTIQ Family Violence Prevention Project, which resulted in Pride in Prevention and the application of its conceptual model and priority actions by three Victorian partner organisations: Thorne Harbour Health, Zoe Belle Gender Collective, and Safe and Equal.
