A Scoping Review of Global Literature on Alcohol and Other Drug-Facilitated Sexual Violence.
Trauma Violence Abuse
November 2024
The use of alcohol or other drugs to facilitate sexual violence (AOD-facilitated sexual violence) is a public health concern. There are significant gaps in knowledge on victimization, perpetration, contexts, impacts, and attitudes. Using a scoping review method, we mapped existing peer-reviewed, global literature to examine what is known about AOD-facilitated sexual violence to inform the development of AOD-facilitated sexual violence targeted interventions.

Novel approaches used to build engagement with historically marginalized communities in other sectors may have relevance in the clinical research sector.
Method: To address long-standing gaps and challenges, a stakeholder group was convened to develop a theory of change (ToC), a structured method for obtaining input from stakeholders to enhance the design, conduct, and dissemination of research.
Article Synopsis
- Public transport is a significant area where sexual violence and harassment occur, affecting women and gender-diverse individuals.
- Through interviews, it was revealed that these individuals engage in extensive "safety work" to avoid danger, which adds stress and requires considerable effort.
- Participants called for major reforms in public transport to help minimize their safety concerns and to focus on preventing gender-based violence.
Background: Members of vulnerable populations are underrepresented in Parkinson's disease (PD) research. A complex web of research barriers perpetuates this gap. Community-based research methods are one approach to addressing this issue.

- Even though there are rules for including different types of people in research, getting them to join studies is still hard.
- A study created a tool to track why people couldn’t participate, recording these barriers as they happened.
- In total, 230 interested people couldn't join because of various obstacles, and understanding these can help researchers improve how they recruit participants.
