Family violence knowledge in culturally diverse communities and organisational preparedness to disseminate information.

CONCLUSION: The findings from the present study elucidate the state of family-violence related knowledge amongst the Indian and Burmese communities in a large municipality in Melbourne, Australia, and provide insight into community readiness to diffuse family violence-related information. This increased understanding could be used to enhance family violence prevention efforts in culturally diverse communities. SO WHAT?: This study provides justification for the need for educational family violence prevention efforts within the Burmese and Indian communities. It also informs us of the importance of engaging with community organisations to implement family violence prevention strategies. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
