This study examines factors related to engagement in the services offered by police officer-advocate teams on the basis of police and clinical records for 301 female victims referred to the Domestic Violence Home Visit Intervention (DVHVI) program. The authors find that the severity of intimate partner violence charges and ethnicity of the victim, advocate, and police officer are all significantly related to engagement in the DVHVI, with Hispanic women served by Hispanic advocate-officer teams more engaged in services than African American or Caucasian women. The data suggest that this intervention model may be particularly beneficial for Hispanic victims of intimate partner violence when implemented by a Spanish-speaking officer-advocate team.
本研究基于301名被转介至家庭暴力家访干预（DVHVI）项目的女性受害者的警方和临床记录，考察了与参与警官-倡导者团队所提供服务相关的因素。作者发现，亲密伴侣暴力指控的严重程度以及受害者、倡导者和警官的种族，均与参与DVHVI显著相关，由西班牙裔倡导者-警官团队服务的西班牙裔女性比非裔美国女性或白人女性更多地参与服务。数据表明，当由说西班牙语的警官-倡导者团队实施时，这种干预模式可能对西班牙裔亲密伴侣暴力受害者特别有益。
