This exploratory study examined the flow of research evidence through systems that address intimate partner violence (IPV), including victim services, law enforcement, and criminal justice organizations. Qualitative interviews with representatives of these disciplines assessed how respondents define, acquire, and share research evidence. Findings suggest that research evidence is defined more broadly in the field than in academic settings, and is accessed primarily from trusted intermediaries within professional networks. State IPV coalitions and victim service providers are key intermediaries across sectors. Findings suggest the need for more tangible supports to support sharing of research information within and across service sectors.

这项探索性研究检查了研究证据通过解决亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的系统的流动，包括受害者服务、执法和刑事司法组织。对这些学科代表的定性访谈评估了受访者如何定义、获取和分享研究证据。研究结果表明，研究证据在该领域的定义比在学术环境中的定义更广泛，并且主要从专业网络中的受信任中介访问。州 IPV 联盟和受害者服务提供商是跨部门的关键中介。调查结果表明，需要更多有形的支持来支持服务部​​门内部和跨部门的研究信息共享。
