This study examined the role of sociodemographic factors and violence characteristics in influencing women's use of informal and formal supports in response to intimate partner violence (IPV) in a national survey of Canadian households. A subset of female respondents in the 1999 Canadian General Social Survey who experienced at least one incident of physical or sexual IPV by a male current or former intimate partner was used for this analysis. Findings suggest that although there are significant sociodemographic variations in women's help seeking, the largest independent predictor of women's use of supports is fear that one's life is in danger.
本研究考察了社会人口因素和暴力特征在多大程度上影响了女性在遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）时对非正规和正规支持的使用，该研究基于对加拿大家庭的全国性调查。本分析使用了 1999 年加拿大综合社会调查中经历过至少一次由当前或前任亲密伴侣实施的身体或性 IPV 的女性受访者的一个子集。研究结果表明，尽管女性寻求帮助存在显著的社会人口差异，但最大的独立预测因素是对生命受到威胁的恐惧。
