In her 2004 master's thesis Simpson identified that lesbian victims of domestic violence who are seeking services face systemic, institutional, and individual barriers. For this qualitative study, building on that work, we used in-depth interviews with six staff members who represented both a traditional domestic violence agency and a lesbian social service agency providing domestic violence services. The interviews revealed policy changes that might be made: institutional inclusion, assessment of language and literature, training and supervision, and institutional evaluation and quality assurance. These changes may improve the experiences of lesbian victims who are seeking services from domestic violence agencies. Each change, with specific examples provided, is discussed.
在2004年的硕士论文中，辛普森指出，寻求服务的女同性恋家庭暴力受害者面临着系统性、机构性和个人层面的障碍。在这项定性研究中，基于该项工作，我们对六名工作人员进行了深入访谈，他们分别来自一个传统的家庭暴力机构和一个提供家庭暴力服务的女同性恋社会服务机构。访谈揭示了可能需要做出的政策改变：机构接纳、语言和宣传资料评估、培训与监督，以及机构评估和质量保证。这些改变可能会改善从家庭暴力机构寻求服务的女同性恋受害者的体验。文中对每一项改变都进行了讨论，并给出了具体例子。
