Building the Evidence for Domestic Violence Services and Interventions: Intermediate Health and Patient-Centered Outcomes

Since 2015, JSI has partnered with the Blue Shield of California Foundation (BSCF) to support strengthening the evidence base for the impact of DV programs in order to sustain DV services and interventions long-term. As part of this work, JSI conducted a literature review to determine the range of intermediate health and patient-centered outcomes that lie along the pathway from services and interventions to health care utilization and costs. The resulting report, “Building the Evidence for Domestic Violence Services and Interventions: Intermediate Health and Patient-Centered Outcomes” discusses the outcome categories most commonly utilized in the literature, findings from real-world evaluations of DV programs, and provides an evaluation planning tool provide a framework for DV agencies to assess the impact of their programs.
