Are You a Male Survivor of Domestic Violence?

If so, there is a research project that could use your participation. I found this at the Good Men Project - they did not look into Dr. Hines it seems, based on their disclaimer, but I took a look at her page at Clark University and she seems to be actively seeking an understanding of male survivors of domestic violence, as well as enacting policy decisions based on that knowledge. She has an extensive list of publications in this realm (see below). The link to the research study is also in the brief post from the Good Men Project.

Men Needed to Participate in Men’s Experiences with Partner Aggression Survey

October 1, 2012 By The Good Feed Blog Editors

 

One thing we come across very often when talking about male survivors of domestic violence is the lack of studies into the issue of male victims of domestic violence.

Research Assistant Professor Denise Hines, PhD at Clark University on Worcester, MA is conducting an online survey into this very subject. If you would like to participate and meet the criteria, visit the survey website here.

For the record, we do not know Professor Hines, nor can we vouch for her credibility or the study, we merely would like to facilitate men finding the survey so they can participate, should they choose.
