There is increasing evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated domestic violence. There are many commendable and promising programs to respond to domestic violence, but it is not known how these programs cope in the pandemic environment to serve domestic violence victims and survivors, and especially individuals from diverse backgrounds and living in disadvantaged communities. This collaborative study builds a nationwide inventory of domestic violence victim programs including critical information about these programs' services. It will also generate critical knowledge on strongest predictors of domestic violence and strategies for efficient service provision and servicing underserved populations. This study will address the urgent need for programmatic research to advance the knowledge of domestic violence risks posed by COVID-19 and the availability and accessibility of nationwide resources for victims and survivors. The project integrates a multidisciplinary theoretical framework and a Rapid Assessment Methodology to understand the multifaceted nature of domestic violence. The theoretical framework includes criminological, epidemiological, public health, service advocacy perspectives. This study will also assess the service needs of domestic violence victims to identify nationwide proactive and protective interventions against domestic violence.This study will use a mixed-methods study design and its objectives are to: (1) determine the known risk factors of domestic violence which have heightened during COVID-19 and new COVID-19 related risk factors for domestic violence; (2) identify protective factors against domestic violence during COVID-19; (3) identify the immediate and long-term needs of survivors based on their demographics; (4) compile an up to date inventory of all domestic violence programs nationwide to assess service needs; (5) demonstrate the special service needs of victims and survivors for mitigating risks and prevention, and (6) translate the research findings and transfer the knowledge to the practitioner and scholarly communities nationwide. The study will gather data on existing services for domestic violence victims and survivors; COVID-19 related domestic violence risk factors and service needs; and the barriers in providing and accessing services. The data will be collected via interviews, focus groups discussions, and a survey with victim service providers across the US. This study will produce evidence that will benefit practitioners, policymakers, and researchers working in the fields of victim services, public health, law enforcement, and community resilience.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

有越来越多的证据表明，共同199大流行加剧了家庭暴力。有许多值得称赞和有希望的计划来应对家庭暴力，但尚不知道这些计划在大流行环境中如何应对家庭暴力受害者和幸存者，尤其是来自不同背景的人以及生活在弱势社区中的个人。这项合作研究建立了全国性的家庭暴力受害者计划清单，包括有关这些计划服务的关键信息。它还将对家庭暴力的最强大预测指标以及有效的服务提供和服务不足的人口的策略产生批判性知识。这项研究将涉及对程序研究的迫切需求，以提高Covid-19的家庭暴力风险以及对受害者和幸存者的全国资源的可用性和可及性。该项目集成了多学科理论框架和快速评估方法，以了解家庭暴力的多方面性质。理论框架包括犯罪学，流行病学，公共卫生，服务倡导观点。这项研究还将评估家庭暴力受害者的服务需求，以确定全国性的积极主动和保护性干预措施对家庭暴力。这项研究将使用混合方法的研究设计及其目标是：（1）确定在COVID-19和新的Covid-19与家庭暴力相关风险因素中增强的家庭暴力的已知风险因素； （2）确定在Covid-19期间针对家庭暴力的保护因素； （3）根据他们的人口统计，确定幸存者的直接和长期需求； （4）编译全国所有家庭暴力计划的最新清单，以评估服务需求； （5）证明了受害者和幸存者的特殊服务需求，以减轻风险和预防，（6）将研究结果转化并将知识转移到全国从业者和学术社区。该研究将收集有关家庭暴力受害者和幸存者现有服务的数据； COVID-19相关的家庭暴力风险因素和服务需求；以及提供和访问服务的障碍。数据将通过访谈，焦点小组讨论以及与美国各地的受害者服务提供者进行调查来收集数据。这项研究将产生证据，使从业人员，决策者和研究人员在受害者服务，公共卫生，执法和社区韧性领域工作。这项奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的审查标准通过评估来通过评估来支持的。
