Results from Our 2007-2009 Survey:

Fact Sheets:

We’d like to thank Sean C. McCarthy for working on a series of fact sheets that succinctly summarize our main study findings.  These findings are or will be elaborated upon in our publications, but the fact sheets can be quite useful for policymakers or practitioners who want “just the facts” without all of the jargon and background theory that research journal articles tend to have.

Fact sheet #1: Intimate Terrorism by Women Towards Men: Does it Exist?

Fact sheet #2: A Closer Look at Men Who Sustain Intimate Terrorism by Women

Fact sheet #3: Symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Among Men who Sustain Intimate Partner Violence

Fact sheet #4:  Men Who Sustain Violence from Their Female Partners: Predictors of Where They Seek Help and How They Rate Those Resources

Fact sheet #5: Where Do Men Seek Help and How Helpful Are Those Resources?
