Équipe Violence Sexuelle et Santé (ÉVISSA)

Created in 2007, the ÉVISSA team is an interdisciplinary group of researchers with specific and complementary expertise (psychology, sexology, education, psychoeducation, public health). They share common goals, such as achieving a comprehensive understanding of sexual violence and its consequences, more specifically by exploring the influence of individual, family and social factor in different life contexts (family, childhood, first relationships and adult couple) in addition to identify cutting-edge intervention and prevention target.

The ÉVISSA team’s research program revolves around three axes:

  • Axis 1 – Disclosure pathways and diversity of medical, social and legal trajectories
  • Axis 2 – Analysis of determinants, mechanisms and profiles
  • Axis 3 – Intervention and prevention practices
