Rural Librarians and Domestic Abuse in Domestic Violence Report

At first I thought it was about whether librarians were more at risk for harm in their relationships or due to isolation, but that's not it. The full report is $12.

Abstract:
The Danger Assessment is an IPV risk assessment that is intended to predict risk for homicide among IPV survivors (www.DangerAssessment.org) and to be used for safety planning. Women who score in the two highest categories of homicide risk (“severe danger” or “extreme danger”) on the Danger Assessment were more likely to have ever threatened or attempted suicide than women in the lowest risk assessment category, even after taking into account other predictors of suicide. This article explores use of the Danger Assessment questionnaire in predicting and preventing suicide among victims of domestic violence.
