Data Collection
After obtaining informed consent, data collectors used computer- assisted data entry to collect data at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months, in women’s homes or safe locations
of their choice. We used safety protocols including suicide risk assessment and routine debriefing that were effective in our other studies of woman abuse. Interventionists
recorded the nature of intrusion, the plan for action, and follow-up/outcomes in participant files. Researchers recorded notes about interventionist training/supervision sessions, and researcher-partner meetings.
