Hi all

I only discovered this board yesterday, so hope nobody minds me starting a new thread already?

As I briefly mentioned in a post yesterday, I'm presently undertaking research along with two other women, to explore the service needs of and for women in my own area who have experienced both doemstic abuse and susbtance use. For the purpose of the research, the term substance use covers alcohol, nicotine, prescribed medication and illicit drugs.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of, or can recommend any existing research that covers both 'issues' that has been conducted in USA?

Take care

Hi...I don't know of any specifically, but if you do a search on domestic abuse and domestic violence organizations in the US, you can find our national organizations and information clearinghouses and perhaps they will have the information you're seeking.
