Innovative/Promising Practice Program Report
Description:
The abstract is about an innovative intervention pilot model to build up collaborative network between health care providers and community supporters to abused women. Evaluation results showed that this integrated model was more effective than intervention in clinic settings only. Women feel more confident to reveal domestic violence (DV) situation and to ask for help as friendlier environment is created with more choices and motivations for them to act against DV.
