Study Background

Researchers at Emory University are conducting a study to learn more about domestic violence survivors and to improve care coordination between hospital and community organizations for survivors of domestic violence. 

In the United States, more than 35% of women and 28% of men have reported experiencing domestic violence. Currently, most research on coordinated care for domestic violence survivors centers around White, straight, cis-gendered, and able-bodied people.

In this study, we want to hear from survivors who identify as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Indigenous, or as a Person of Color to further research and eventually co-create a more well-rounded hospital-based intervention program.
