To fill an existing gap in research and practice on intimate partner violence (IPV) in immigrant communities, the authors developed an IPV prevention program, called the Shanti Project, in an Asian Indian community in the Midwest. Building on the notion of shanti (harmony/peace), a cherished value and strength of the community, we created a communications campaign that combined social marketing and community-based participatory approaches. Recognizing the interactive influences of multiple levels of social ecology, campaign activities were designed to bring about changes at the individual, relationship/family, organization, and community levels. This article presents the development of this theoretically, empirically, and community-based IPV prevention program.
为填补移民社区中亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）研究和实践的现有空白，作者在中西部的一个印度社区中开发了一个 IPV 预防项目，称为 Shanti 项目。基于 shanti（和谐/和平）的概念，这是社区珍视的价值观和力量，我们创建了一个结合社会营销和社区参与方法的传播活动。认识到社会生态系统多个层次的相互影响，活动旨在在个人、关系/家庭、组织和社区层面带来变化。本文介绍了这一基于理论、经验和社区的 IPV 预防项目的发展。
