Advancing Evidence-Informed Responses to Intimate Partner Violence among Women with Disabilities - The primary research objective of this project is to refine and pilot test an intervention for female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) with disabilities. Women with disabilities face unique risk factors for IPV and experience higher rates of abuse than nondisabled women, yet research on the problem is limited and services tailored to their diverse needs are scarce. The health-related risks of IPV are of particular concern for women with disabilities, who are at risk of sustaining additional chronic injuries and debilitating conditions as a result of abuse. IPV degrades the health and well-being of women with disabilities across the lifespan and diminishes their ability to fully participate in society, maintain gainful employment, live independently, and achieve economic and social self-sufficiency. The Empowerment Focused Intervention is a novel, IPV intervention that will address the complex interplay of health-related, social, and vocational factors impacting women with disabilities. The intervention aims to: (1) improve the health and function of women with disabilities; (2) promote independence and self-sufficiency; (3) increase abuse awareness and safety planning skills; and (4) facilitate interdependence by increasing social and community contacts. The project’s goal is to develop an evidence-informed IPV intervention that has the potential to reach a large number of women with disabilities, is low effort in nature, cost-efficient and can be replicated at domestic violence agencies. A pilot test of the Empowerment Focused Intervention with women with physical disabilities and pain conditions will support further refinement of the intervention content, with the goal of ultimately informing the design of a study to test the efficacy of the intervention and disseminate it widely.
