Context

Gender-based violence in the form of youth dating violence is a serious public health issue with long-lasting health and social impacts. The stages between adolescence and early adulthood are crucial times to provide youth with the knowledge and skills to develop and maintain healthy relationships throughout their lives.

Objectives

This funding opportunity aims to support projects that deliver and test health promotion interventions that:

• foster healthy relationships
• prevent youth dating violence
• help build the youth dating violence prevention evidence base

This call for proposals has 3 streams of projects, each with its own objective:

• Scale up stream
  This stream scales up, delivers and further tests youth dating violence prevention interventions that have already shown to be effective through rigorous evaluation.
• Key populations stream
  This stream delivers and tests existing youth dating violence prevention interventions that support underserved or at-risk populations.
• Indigenous stream
  This stream supports Indigenous organizations to develop or adapt, deliver and test culturally appropriate youth dating violence prevention interventions for Indigenous youth.

This call for proposals aims to promote health equity by reducing disparities in health outcomes among population groups in Canada. Applicants are expected to incorporate health equity approaches and considerations into their project, including Gender-Based Analysis Plus.
