Screening and responding to domestic violence experienced by refugee women

我们将与澳大利亚最大的安置方案提供者之一-国际安置服务组织合作，调整和测试一项循证干预措施，以查明和解决新抵达难民妇女的家庭暴力问题。家庭暴力是澳大利亚妇女过早死亡的主要原因，每年造成220 B澳元的损失，难民妇女面临的风险更大。本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。这一干预措施应减少难民和其他弱势移徙妇女遭受家庭暴力的人力和财政代价，为解决这一复杂的隐蔽问题提供安置服务工具。

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.
