Recently, financial education programs have been developed and tested with survivors of IPV. However, only a few rigorous evaluations of economic empowerment interventions exist with survivors of IPV in the U.S., and none assess the language and cultural differences among Spanish-speaking survivors.\r\nThis study tested and validated measures related to financial empowerment and partner violence with English and Spanish-speaking IPV survivors to address this gap. The specific objectives of the project were to: (1) Test and revise financial and abuse scales which were pre-existing or adapted from scales used in the general population for use with IPV survivors in both English and Spanish utilizing a secondary dataset, and (2) Further test and validate measures analyzed as part of Objective One with a similar sample of IPV survivors in both English and Spanish to determine if these scales are appropriate for use with IPV populations.\r\nThis study was conducted in two phases to address each of its objectives. The first objective was completed during Phase I, and the second objective during Phase II. Data for Phase II was gathered through individual interviews, either face-to-face or over the phone. Interviewers used a structured questionnaire, with the nine financial and abuse scales, in the participant's preferred language, English or Spanish. These nine scales were:\r\n\r\nFinancial Knowledge Scale - to determine survivors' knowledge about financial management.\r\nFinancial Management Attitudes Scale - to determine survivors' attitudes about financial management.\r\nScale of Economic Self-Efficacy - to determine survivors' confidence in their financial management abilities.\r\nScale of Financial Behaviors - to determine survivors' actual financial management behaviors.\r\nScale of Financial Intentions - to determine survivors' intentions to perform particular financial behaviors.\r\nScale of Economic Self-Sufficiency - to determine survivors' abilities to accomplish financial tasks.\r\nFinancial Strain Survey - to determine survivors' strain in managing their financial health.\r\nAbusive Behavior Inventory - to determine survivors' experiences with physical, emotional, and sexual violence.\r\nScale of Economic Abuse-12 - to determine survivors' experiences with economic abuse.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the questionnaire gathered demographic information including: age, ethnicity, employment status, education level, marital status, and annual income.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR37947.v1", "title": "Testing and Validating Financial Measures with Intimate Partner Violence Survivors, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico, 2018-2020"}], "identifier": "4277", "issued": "2021-05-26T10:05:03", "keyword": ["abuse", "economic behavior", "financial management", "financial planning", "intimate partner violence"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2021-05-26T10:10:08", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Testing and Validating Financial Measures with Intimate Partner Violence Survivors, New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico, 2018-2020"}
