The purpose of the survey was to help develop public policy in the areas of employment standards and occupational health and safety,such as paid leave for victims,as well as negotiate workplace supports for domestic violence survivors. [6] The results of the survey were published in 2015,indicating that more than a third of domestic violence victims reported that it affected their ability to get to work,and more than half reported that it continued at or near work. [7] At the same time,Wathen served as a Co-Principal investigator of the Preventing Violence Across the Lifespan (PreVAiL) Research Network,where she helped develop research,educational materials,and approaches to assist health professionals in better supporting survivors of violence. [8] As a result of her efforts towards research and education on family violence,Wathen was inducted into the Royal Society of Canada's College of New Scholars,Artists and Scientists.
