Research Study: If you are a male victim of partner abuse or domestic violence you are encouraged to respond to this survey.

The Purpose of the study

The Office of National Statistics shows that one in three victims of domestic abuse is male.  There is also a growing body of evidence that shows that women perpetrate partner violence at similar rates to men.  Despite this, there are relatively few studies examining the experiences of male victims.  This survey aims to evaluate the experiences of partner violence for male victims.

What will I be asked to do?

Your participation is important as you have been in a relationship where there has been the presence of partner abuse/coercive control. If you wish to proceed, you will be asked to complete an online survey that will take approximately 30 - 45 mins.  The survey includes questions regarding you and your experience within the abusive relationship.  It also includes psychological scales to measure; the behaviour within the abusive relationship, post-traumatic stress symptoms, types of coping and post-traumatic growth.

How can I find out more information?

A short summary report of the research findings will be available from the researcher upon request either by phone or e-mail.
