Women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) are at high risk for repeat victimization. Repeat victimization by an intimate partner increases women's risk of injuries, disabilities, and death. Identifying women who are most at risk is important because it allows for preventive action with both victims and perpetrators. Among those identification methods most successfully used is the Danger Assessment-2 (DA-2), a tool that is both sensitive and specific in identifying women at risk for repeat violent victimization and homicide in heterosexual intimate relationships. The extent to which this important risk assessment tool can predict repeat victimization in female same-sex IPV relationships, however, is unknown. Our long-rattge goal is to reduce the risk of negative health outcomes, including fatal and near fatal injuries, among women in same-sex intimate relationships through the development and utilization of effective culturally competent, community-partnered interventions and policies. The objective for this proposal is to scientifically evaluate for the first time the effectiveness of a previously validated, fi'equently used instrument to assess the risk of repeat violent victimization of women in abusive same-sex intimate relationships. This new investigator proposal is highly dependent on mentorship and consultation from violence-related injury research experts and collaboration with community agencies. Established partnerships ensure our access to a statewide ethnically diverse sample of 248 adult female victims and perpetrators in current or past-year abusive same-sex intimate relationships to participate in focus groups and complete survey questionnaires. The knowlcdgc generated from this pilot study will: 1) provide a validated outcomes instrument for future intervention studies with sexual minority victims and erpetrators; 2) assist health care professionals, domestic violence and victim advocates, law enforcement, the judiciary, and probation officers to promote'the health and safety of women from diverse communities; and 3) improve access to culturally appropriate community resources.

经历亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的妇女有反复受害的高风险。私密伴侣的重复受害会增加妇女受伤，残疾和死亡的风险。确定最有风险的妇女很重要，因为它允许与受害者和肇事者一起进行预防措施。在这些识别方法中，最成功使用的方法是危险评估2（DA-2），该工具既敏感又特定 在异性恋亲密关系中识别有反复暴力受害和凶杀案的妇女。然而，这种重要的风险评估工具可以预测女性同性IPV关系的重复受害的程度尚不清楚。我们的长期目标是通过发展和利用来降低与同性亲密关系的女性中负面健康结果的风险，包括致命和几乎致命的伤害 有效的文化能力，社区合作的干预措施和政策。该提案的目的是第一次科学地评估先前验证的，有效的工具的有效性，以评估妇女在虐待同性亲密关系中反复暴力受害的风险。这项新的研究者建议在很大程度上取决于与暴力相关的伤害研究专家的指导和咨询，并与社区机构合作。建立的合作伙伴关系确保我们在当前或过去的虐待同性私密关系中获得248名成年女性受害者和肇事者的全国种族多样性样本，以参与焦点小组和完整的调查问卷。这项试点研究产生的知识将：1）为与性少数群体受害者和erpetrators的未来干预研究提供了有效的结果工具； 2）协助卫生保健专业人员，家庭暴力和受害者倡导者，执法，司法和缓刑官员，以促进来自不同社区的妇女的健康和安全； 3）改善获得文化适当的社区资源的机会。
