To contribute to our knowledge about initiatives to support older women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV), we conducted an internet search, online surveys, and telephone interviews with administrators of programs for women who have experienced IPV. We compiled information on initiatives providing individual in-person and telephone support, educational and/or therapeutic groups, and short- and long-term shelters and housing. The interviews provided insights about the history and rationale for these initiatives, strengths, positive outcomes, challenges, and future program development. Our study results can inform the creation of appropriate services to meet the needs of older women who experience IPV.

为了帮助我们了解支持遭受亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的老年女性的举措，我们进行了互联网搜索、在线调查，并与经历过 IPV 的女性项目的管理人员进行了电话访谈。我们收集了有关提供个人面对面和电话支持、教育和/或治疗团体以及短期和长期庇护所和住房的倡议的信息。访谈提供了有关这些举措、优势、积极成果、挑战和未来计划发展的历史和基本原理的见解。我们的研究结果可以为创建适当的服务提供信息，以满足经历 IPV 的老年女性的需求。
