Worldwide, two models of care are offered most often to abused women-safe shelter and justice services. No evidence exists on the differential effectiveness of the services. To provide evidence, 300 abused women, 150 first-time users of a shelter and 150 first-time applicants for a protection order, signed informed consent to participate in a 7-year study. Safety, abuse, and functioning of the women and their children were measured. Compared with women seeking justice services, women in shelters reported more abuse and depression and less support. The baseline characteristics of these 300 women are presented with implications for practice and policy.
在全球范围内，为受虐妇女提供的护理模式最常见的有两种——安全庇护所和司法服务。目前尚无证据表明这些服务的效果存在差异。为了提供相关证据，300名受虐妇女（其中150名是庇护所的首次使用者，150名是保护令的首次申请者）签署了知情同意书，参与一项为期7年的研究。对这些妇女及其子女的安全、受虐情况和生活状况进行了评估。与寻求司法服务的妇女相比，住在庇护所的妇女报告称遭受了更多的虐待，抑郁程度更高，获得的支持更少。本文呈现了这300名妇女的基线特征，并探讨了其对实践和政策的启示。
