| Title: | Sexual assault and formal service use : understanding help-seeking among women living in poverty |
| Authors: | Sit, Victoria Kar-Yan |
| Keywords: | Poverty;Socioeconomic factors;Social attitudes;Service provision;Sexual assault |
| Year: | 2015 |
| Publisher: | University of Toronto |
| Notes: | A significant majority of survivors do not seek assistance from formal support services. Limited attention has been paid to the role of socioeconomic status in shaping these decisions. This qualitative study aims to develop an in-depth contextualised understanding of the help-seeking processes of sexual assault survivors living in poverty, along with suggestions on how formal service use rates can be improved. Implications for formal services and future research are discussed. |
