Development of an Accessible Audio Computer-Assisted Self-Interview
(A-CASI) to Screen for Abuse and Provide Safety Strategies for Women
With Disabilities.



Oschwald M, Renker P, Hughes RB, Arthur A, Powers LE, Curry MA.



To increase safety and minimize the risk of interpersonal violence, it
is critical that women with disabilities and Deaf women have an
opportunity to identify whether or not abuse is happening in their
lives.



Awareness and knowledge of what constitutes abusive behaviors is an
essential first step in addressing interpersonal violence.



This article includes a description of the development and evaluation of
the Safer and Stronger Program (SSP), an audio computer-assisted
self-interview program, which was created for women with disabilities
and Deaf women for the purposes of increasing awareness of abuse,
encouraging safety-planning behaviors, and providing information about
community resources.
