利用正在进行的纵向研究的数据，我们研究了随着时间的推移，COVID-19 居家令对不稳定居住的家庭暴力 (DV) 幸存者中不同种族群体的影响。具体来说，我们检查了幸存者在 COVID-19 爆发之前、期间和之后的安全、住房稳定性和心理健康状况，以及人口、社会和家庭因素如何减弱或加剧居家令的影响。大约 300 名参与者在向 DV 机构寻求服务后最初接受了采访，然后在 2 年内每 6 个月接受一次采访。 COVID-19 居家令是在这项多年研究完成期间发出的。纵向混合效应模型旨在检验随着时间的推移，COVID-19 对幸存者的安全、住房稳定性和心理健康的影响。我们还研究了具有多个时变（例如就业、收入、社会支持和儿童数量）和时不变（基线结果分数、种族/民族身份、教育和残疾状况）控制变量的模型。结果显示，在 COVID-19 大流行爆发之前，研究参与者的安全性、住房稳定性和心理健康状况正在改善，但在居家令发布后则趋于稳定。虐待经历、住房不稳定和心理健康症状并没有因 COVID-19 居家令而恶化。值得注意的是，社会支持和住房服务成为结果的重要预测因素，例如，接受住房相关服务和更多社会支持的参与者报告称虐待更少，住房不稳定更少，心理健康困扰也更少。 COVID-19 暂时扰乱了居住不稳定的家庭暴力幸存者在安全、住房稳定性和心理健康方面所经历的积极轨迹。这些发现为全球灾难期间和之后获得服务的重要性提供了重要的见解。额外的资源和支持可能有助于帮助幸存者回到大流行前的恢复和成长轨迹。
Using data from an ongoing longitudinal study, we examined the impact of the COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home orders on a racially diverse population of unstably housed domestic violence (DV) survivors over time. Specifically, we examined survivors' safety, housing stability, and mental health before, during, and after the onset of COVID‐19, and how demographic, social, and familial factors attenuated or exacerbated the effect of the stay‐at‐home orders. Approximately 300 participants were initially interviewed after they sought services from a DV agency, and then again, every 6 months over 2 years. COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home orders occurred midway through the completion of this multi‐year study. Longitudinal mixed effects models were estimated to examine the impact of COVID‐19 on the safety, housing stability, and mental health of survivors over time. We also examined models with several time‐varying (e.g., employment, income, social support, and number of children) and time‐invariant (baseline outcome scores, racial/ethnic identity, education, and disability status) control variables. Results revealed that safety, housing stability and mental health were improving for study participants before the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic but plateaued after the stay‐at‐home orders were issued. Experiences of abuse, housing instability, and mental health symptomatology did not worsen as a result of the COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home orders. Notably, social support and housing services emerged as important predictors of outcomes, such that participants who received housing‐related services and greater social support reported less abuse, less housing instability, and lower mental health distress. COVID‐19 temporarily disrupted the positive trajectory unstably housed DV survivors were experiencing in regard to safety, housing stability and mental health. These findings provide critical insight into the importance of service access during and after global catastrophes. Additional resources and support may be helpful in assisting survivors to return to their pre‐pandemic recovery and growth trajectories.
