About the Author
Jacquelyn C. Campbell, PhD, RN, FAAN, is a professor and the Anna D. Wolf Chair at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. She is a national leader in research and advocacy in the field of domestic violence, or intimate partner violence (IPV). She has authored or coauthored more than 250 publications and seven books on violence, its health outcomes, and interventions for survivors. Her studies have paved the way for a growing body of interdisciplinary investigations by researchers in the disciplines of nursing, medicine, social work, and public health. Her expertise is frequently sought by national and international policy makers who are exploring IPV and its health effects on families and communities. As a nurse educator and mentor, Dr. Campbell leads by example in inspiring new generations of nurse researchers. Her BSN, MSN, and PhD are from Duke University, Wright State University, and the University of Rochester, respectively. She teaches an undergraduate and MSN elective in family violence as well as in the PhD program, and is the national program director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Nurse Faculty Scholars Program. Dr. Campbell led a National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded (T32) fellowship that provided funding for pre- and postdoctoral fellows in violence research for 15 years. Elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM; now the National Academy of Medicine--NAM) in 2000, Dr. Campbell was also the IOM/American Academy of Nursing/American Nurses Foundation senior scholar-in-residence and was founding cochair of the IOM/NAM Forum on Global Violence Prevention. Other honors include the Pathfinder Distinguished Researcher by the Friends of the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Nursing Research, the American Society of Criminology Vollmer Award, and the Sigma Theta Tau Episteme Award; Dr. Campbell is one of the "20 for 20" Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Leaders in Violence and Injury Prevention and one of the inaugural 17 Gilman Scholars at Johns Hopkins University. She is on the board of directors for Futures Without Violence, is an active member of the Johns Hopkins Women's Health Research Group, and has served on the boards of the House of Ruth Battered Women's Shelter and four other shelters. She was also a member of the congressionally appointed U.S. Department of Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence.
