Join us for Julie M Kafka, PhD, MPH’s talk on Intimate partner violence as a precursor to suicide: pathways, prevalence, and opportunities for prevention. Dr Kafka will describe how intimate partner violence (IPV) may lead to suicide, current estimates regarding the role of IPV in suicide, explore promising practices and opportunities to prevent IPV-related suicide, and speak to her recent JAMA Network Open publication “Deaths Related to Domestic Violence in Washington State”.

Julie M Kafka, PhD, MPH is an Assistant Professor with the University of Colorado Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative and a faculty member in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine. Her research is dedicated to the prevention and interruption of intimate partner violence, with a focus on systems response, policy implementation, and the role of firearms in violence escalation. The goal of her work is to conduct applied research that can help support victim-survivors while also addressing abusive behaviors by the people who perpetrate harm.
