enDescription
The Director of Public Health report is published every two years. It is an independent report on the health of the population using data and information on health and its determinants. It also describes services, initiatives and programmes designed to improve health and well-being and prevent ill-health and identify any gaps in provision or areas for improvement. It has a wide audience of the public, NHS Boards, IJBs and CPPs. The previous DPH report described the overall health of the population of NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. This year I have focused on specific challenges for public health. I have also produced separate reports for HSCPs to ensure that local needs and priorities are recognised. This report is focused on one of the major challenges for West Dunbartonshire; that of domestic violence, the reported rates being the highest in Scotland. The report has involved a review of published research and evaluation of what works in the prevention of domestic abuse and also identifies activities for which there is no or limited evidence of effectiveness. It has to be said that there are some promising programmes that do not yet have sufficient evidence of effectiveness rather than there is evidence that they do not work.Collections
