Setting Priorities for Safety
Participants rate the importance of 5 priorities to decision-making about their unsafe relationship by comparing the relative importance of each pair of priorities. Weights for each priority are computed and provided to the woman, along with examples of safety strategies that fit with her top ranked priority.
Danger Assessment
Participants complete a calendar to show episodes of physical and/or sexual violence they have experienced in the past 12, along with 20 questions assessing risk of serious or lethal violence. A standardized weighted score is provided, along with a brief explanation about her level of danger and appropriate actions she may take.
Personalized Action Plan
Women create a tailored action plan for themselves by selecting strategies from 8 different groups, including those which are recommended to them based on their responses to previous questions.
General risk and safety information
Participants receive general information about the importance of priorities in making safety decisions and risk factors for intimate partner violence.
Basic Emergency Safety Plan
Participants are provided with a basic emergency plan including information about local DV resources. The information is not personalized but is consistent with online information which women could find on their own (usual care)
