The following objectives were set to achieve this goal:\r\n(1) to develop a standardized interview instrument to be used by all\r\nemergency shelters for battered women in the region, and (2) to\r\nconduct interviews with shelter staff. For this study, the San Diego\r\nAssociation of Governments (SANDAG) collected information about\r\ndomestic violence in San Diego County from clients admitted to\r\nbattered women's shelters. The Compilation of Research and Evaluation\r\n(CORE) intake interview (Part 1) was initiated in March of\r\n1997. Through this interview, researchers gathered data over a\r\n22-month period, through December 1998, for 599 clients. The CORE\r\ndischarge interview (Part 2) was theoretically completed at the time\r\nof exit with each client who completed the CORE intake interview in\r\norder to document the services received. However, data collection at\r\nexit was not reliable, due to factors beyond the researchers' control,\r\nand thus researchers did not receive a discharge form for each\r\nindividual who had an intake form. For Part 1 (Intake Data),\r\ndemographic variables include the client's primary language, and the\r\nclient and batterer's age, education, race, how they supported\r\nthemselves, their annual incomes, and their children's sex, age, and\r\nethnicity. Other variables cover whether the client had been to this\r\nshelter within the last 12 months, the kind of housing the client had\r\nbefore she came to the shelter, person's  admitted along with\r\nthe client, drug and alcohol use by the client, the batterer, and the\r\nchildren, relationship between the client and the batterer (e.g.,\r\nspouse, former spouse), if the client and batterer had been in the\r\nmilitary, if the client or children were military dependents, the\r\nclient's citizenship, if the client and batterer had any\r\nphysical/mental limitations, abuse characteristics (e.g., physical,\r\nverbal, sexual, weapon involved), and the client's medical treatment\r\nhistory (e.g., went to hospital, had been abused while pregnant,\r\nwitnessed abuse while growing up, had been involved in other abusive\r\nrelationships, had attempted suicide).  Additional variables provide\r\nlegal information (number of times police had been called to the\r\nclient's household as a result of domestic violence, if anyone in the\r\nhousehold had been arrested as a result of those calls, if any charges\r\nwere filed, if the client or batterer had been convicted of abuse), if\r\nthe client had a restraining order against the batterer, how the\r\nclient found out about the shelter, the number of times the client had\r\nbeen admitted to a domestic violence shelter, the client's assessment\r\nof her needs at the time of admittance, and the\r\ninterviewer/counselor's assessment of the client's needs at the time\r\nof admittance. Part 2 (Discharge Data) provides information on\r\nservices the client received from the shelter during her stay (food,\r\nclothing, permanent housing, transitional housing, financial\r\nassistance, employment, education, medical help, assistance with\r\nretrieving belongings, assistance with retrieving/replacing legal\r\ndocuments, law enforcement, temporary restraining order), and\r\nservices this client received as a referral to another agency\r\n(attorney, divorce, child care, counseling, transportation, safety\r\nplan, victim/witness funds, mental health services, department of\r\nsocial services, Children's Services Bureau, help with immigration,\r\ndrug treatment).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03019.v1", "title": "Nature and Scope of Violence Against Women in San Diego [California], 1996-1998"}], "identifier": "3822", "issued": "2001-02-01T00:00:00", "keyword": ["abuse", "battered women", "domestic violence", "intimate partner violence", "needs assessment", "victims", "violence against women", "women", "womens shelters"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Nature and Scope of Violence Against Women in San Diego [California], 1996-1998"}
