Summary
Survivor-victims (SVs) of sexual assault need holistic support beyond justice. Engaging SVs directly is crucial for effective service planning and delivery, aligning services with their daily life needs.
Area of Science:
- Social Science
- Public Health
- Victimology
Background:
- Effective support for sexual assault survivor-victims (SVs) necessitates understanding their self-perceived needs.
- Current service provision often overlooks the holistic wellness perspective of SVs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the self-perceived needs of SVs of sexual assault.
- To compare SVs' needs with system-level perspectives from key informants (KIs).
Main Methods:
- Qualitative focus groups with SVs in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Interviews with KIs from the service and justice sectors.
Main Results:
- SVs expressed needs encompassing holistic wellness and daily life requirements, extending beyond traditional justice-focused interventions.
- KIs' perspectives often aligned with standard grant-funded services, differing from SVs' broader needs.
- A significant gap exists between SVs' perceived needs and the services typically offered.
Conclusions:
- Services must align with the holistic wellness and daily life needs articulated by SVs.
- Direct engagement of SVs in service planning and implementation is essential for improving support.
- Future interventions should incorporate a broader understanding of survivor needs beyond justice-related outcomes.
