Men Needed for a Study on Female Partner Aggression

The Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research
study at Clark University and is funded by the National Institute of
Mental Health.
Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology,
is
the lead researcher on this project. She is conducting this project
in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State
College
Department of Social Work, the Survey Center at the University of
Southern Maine, and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women.

Our goal 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. This is an
under-recognized problem in the United States, and 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 you 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 you are interested in participating,
please call the DAHMW at 1-888-743-5754 or email
