Police reports suggest that domestic abuse (DA) has risen as a result of the pandemic, yet there is concern that the share of DA incidents reported may have fallen. When a victim and abuser are quarantined together, calling the police may jeopardize the victim's safety. As a result, greater numbers of victims are increasingly isolated and at risk.So how can victims get help? How can authorities let them know what options are available? Direct messaging can be dangerous, since texts from the police may provoke a controlling abuser.We propose a targeted social media campaign to inform potential high-risk victims about the Silent Solution, a safer option for contacting police. Our approach leverages the wide use of social media, which also poses less risk than direct messaging. Whereas text messages are actively sent, social media adverts are passively received.The study will identify potential high-risk victims and randomly select half for the media campaign. Analysis of DA calls will show whether the approach is effective. If so, it will provide an approach for reaching isolated DA victims, and for giving them options to get help, that will be of value both during quarantine and beyond.

警方报告显示，家庭虐待（DA）由于大流行而上升，但人们担心报告的DA事件的比例可能已经下降。当受害者和施虐者被隔离在一起时，报警可能会危及受害者的安全。因此，越来越多的受害者越来越孤立和处于危险之中。当局如何让他们知道有哪些选择？直接发送短信可能是危险的，因为来自警方的短信可能会激怒控制型施虐者。我们建议开展有针对性的社交媒体宣传活动，告知潜在的高风险受害者关于沉默解决方案，这是联系警方的一个更安全的选择。我们的方法利用了社交媒体的广泛使用，这也比直接消息传递带来的风险更小。短信是主动发送的，而社交媒体广告是被动接收的。这项研究将确定潜在的高风险受害者，并随机选择一半进行媒体宣传。对DA调用的分析将显示该方法是否有效。如果是这样的话，它将提供一种方法来接触孤立的DA受害者，并为他们提供获得帮助的选择，这将在隔离期间和以后都有价值。
