Experimentally tested the hypotheses that (1) battered women are in need of numerous community resources upon exit from a domestic violence shelter, (2) working with advocates increases women's effectiveness in obtaining needed resources and social support, and (3) success in obtaining resources and social support increases women's levels of life satisfaction and decreases their risk of further abuse. The initial findings of a short-term intervention project designed to provide postshelter advocacy services to women with abusive partners are presented. One-hundred forty-one battered women were interviewed immediately upon their exit from a domestic violence shelter as well as 10 weeks thereafter. Half the sample was randomly assigned to receive the services of trained advocates who assisted them in accessing needed community resources. Women who worked with advocates reported being more effective in accessing resources and had higher levels of social support and overall quality of life postintervention. Although all women reported some decrease in postshelter abuse, there were no differences between those with and those without advocates, and abuse continued to be a problem for many women.
（1）受虐妇女在离开家庭暴力庇护所后需要大量社区资源；（2）与倡导者合作能提高妇女获取所需资源和社会支持的效率；（3）成功获取资源和社会支持能提高妇女的生活满意度，并降低她们再次受虐的风险。本文介绍了一个短期干预项目的初步结果，该项目旨在为遭受伴侣虐待的妇女提供庇护所后的宣传服务。141名受虐妇女在离开家庭暴力庇护所时以及之后10周接受了访谈。样本的一半被随机分配接受训练有素的倡导者的服务，这些倡导者帮助她们获取所需的社区资源。与倡导者合作的妇女报告称，她们在获取资源方面更有效，干预后社会支持水平和整体生活质量更高。尽管所有妇女都报告说庇护所后的虐待有所减少，但有倡导者和没有倡导者的妇女之间没有差异，虐待对许多妇女来说仍然是个问题。
