摘要

This qualitative study examined stakeholder perceptions of primary prevention to reduce intimate partner violence (IPV) among Aboriginal adolescents in the Northern Territory (NT). Fifteen interviews were conducted with 19 participants from 15 organisations (March - May 2024). Each interview followed a semi-structured guide, including questions and prompts. The participants worked in diverse sectors, including two in NT government organisations, 14 in non-government organisations, and three in the private sector. Five participants (26%) were identified as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, with the support of NVivo software. Three themes were generated from the participants’ narratives. The first emphasised conditions that enable effective implementation of IPV primary prevention within communities. The second theme encompassed the conditions that constrain effective implementation at community and service levels. The third theme focused on the priorities vital in designing and implementing primary prevention activities to address IPV among Aboriginal adolescents. The overall findings highlight that primary prevention of IPV is complex and must be grounded in community context, local priorities, and existing service structures. There is a need for culturally responsive, community-informed prevention initiatives that recognise local strengths while addressing service-level constraints to better support safe relationships for Aboriginal adolescents. The findings of this study contribute to the evidence-base for effective preventive strategies to address IPV for adolescents, particularly Aboriginal girls − a vulnerable population in the NT.
