Domestuc Violence Shelters: Survivors' Experience. The National Domestic Violence Shelter Study. Oklahoma Review

摘要

In 2007 and 2008, Oklahoma took part in the National Shelter Study, a survey of survivors of domestic violence in eight states who were in shelter between October 2007 and March 2008. This study sampled the experiences of residents of 215 domestic violence shelter programs in eight states: Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Washington. 3,368 survivors participated nationally, and 271 of those survivors were from Oklahoma. The Oklahoma survivors who participated in the National Shelter Study were very similar to the survivors around the country in many ways, including most demographics, their needs, and their overall rating of the help they received during their time in shelter.
