Exploring Factors Associated with Intimate Partner Violence Survivors'
Use of Financial Safety Planning Strategies
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore financial strategies intimate
partner violence (IPV) survivors undertake when engaging in safety
planning and to examine the relationship between these strategies and
various survivor characteristics. As part of the cross-sectional study,
a total of 425 female survivors of IPV were surveyed. To examine the
relationship between financial safety planning strategies and
participants’ demographic characteristics, abuse experiences, and
financial knowledge, binomial logistic regression analyses were
conducted. Factors associated with financial safety planning varied by
strategy; ethnicity and nativity were often significantly associated.
Implications for practice and areas for future research are discussed.
