Screening and responding to domestic violence experienced by refugee women

我们将调整和测试一种基于证据的干预措施，以识别和解决新抵达的难民妇女的家庭暴力问题，并与澳大利亚最大的安置项目提供商之一国际定居服务组织合作。家庭暴力是澳大利亚女性过早死亡的主要原因，每年造成220亿美元的损失，难民女性面临的风险更高。这项研究将比较接受干预的妇女与对照组和文化敏感、可扩展的测试工具的结果。这一干预措施应能减少难民和其他弱势移徙妇女家庭暴力造成的人力和经济成本，为解决这一复杂、隐蔽问题的定居服务提供工具。

We will adapt and test an evidence-based intervention to identify and address domestic violence with newly arrived refugee women, partnering with Settlement Services International, one of Australia’s largest providers of settlement programs. Domestic violence is the lead contributor to premature death among Australian women, and costs $22 b each year, with refugee women at heightened risk. This study will compare outcomes for women who receive the intervention to controls and culturally sensitive, scaleable tested tools. This intervention should reduce the human and financial cost of domestic violence among refugee and other vulnerable migrant women, providing tools to settlement services to address this complex, hidden problem.
