I am writing to you today to ask your assistance in bringing awareness to a study being conducted on men's experiences with partner aggression. Please consider sharing the information below about this national study being conducted by researchers at Clark University and Bridgewater State College with your colleagues and others who may know someone interested in participating. If you desire more information or would like a flyer to post locally please feel free to email me back at this address or call me at: 207-683-5758 Thanks in advance for your assistance. Sincerely, Jan Elizabeth Brown Founder and Executive Director Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women 1-888-7HELPLINE (1-888-743-5754) Business Line: 207-683-5758 www.dahmw.org
"The Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project” is a research study at Clark University in collaboration with the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (DAHMW). This study is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.
The goal of the study is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Extensive research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. By conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships, and their needs.
If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 59 and have been physically assaulted at least one time in the last 12 months by a current or former intimate female partner you may be eligible to participate in this study. If interested please call the DAHMW at 1-888-743-5754 or email dahmwagency@gmail.com If eligible you may take the survey online or by phone. Your call or email will be kept strictly confidential and no personal identifying information will be required from you if you decide to participate in this study. You may also visit DAHMW's website at: www.dahmw.org or the project's website at: www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines for more information.
Tookaway. This was the subject of some discussion on a different thread. I believe she got a lot of takers, its an area ripe for more study and the biggest problem is getting guys to recognize that being hit by someone smaller than them actually is abuse. Women are just as prone to anger as men are, but tend to handle it differently. If they fail to use weapons, they are ineffectual & so the guys don't recognize it as abuse... the guys simply adjust thier behavior to try to avoid embarassment... which means it has it's intended effect... and then if the women do use weapons, they're more dangerous than the men can be with hands alone.
But most men find it embarassing and emmasculating to admit that they've been victims, so you'll not see them stepping up here to say, "I'll do it". One fo the reasons the researchers left their contact infomraiton and websites to look for on here...
