Notes:	This handbook is prepared by the World Health Organization (WHO) for the systematic collection of information about interpersonal violence prevention programmes from diverse settings and countries. Interpersonal violence includes child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, youth violence and elder abuse. The purpose is to describe and compare interpersonal violence prevention programmes, with baseline information regarding aims, target groups, intervention strategies and evaluation efforts at the levels of communities and countries, and to fill any prevention gaps identified. This handbook is intended for: implementation by violence prevention professionals who will be contracted by WHO; and for practitioners in violence prevention programmes who may want to document their programmes in their community, region or country, using the criteria given. Chapter 2 explains the public health approach as the underlying framework for violence prevention activities. The ecological model used in the World Report on Violence and Health, is also presented as a way of organising the underlying risk factors for violence. Systematic descriptive evaluations are discussed along with the criteria for identifying violence prevention programmes. Chapter 3 gives information on how to document violence prevention programmes, including the pro-forma Instrument for data documentation in Appendix 1.
