The Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness at Penn State (Clearinghouse) proposes research and development in two areas - designated Priority 1 and Priority 2 in the RFA. First, we will conduct a survey of FAPMs that will identify best practices for treatment of families (including victims and perpetrators) who have a history of family violence. The survey will also ask FAPMs aboutsoldier and family engagement, and service delivery and data collection strategies. This information will also inform the development of a revision to the 'FAP Guide to Prevention Programming Self-Guided Tutorial',enhancethe training of new FAPMs, and guidethe creation of a revised tutorial.
