Evaluation: Evaluation of Technology-based Advocacy (ETA)

Increasingly new technologies are being used to reach survivors of violence. Researchers at UTMB Center for Violence Prevention partnered with The UT Austin Texas Steve Hicks School of Social Work and SAFE Alliance to conduct a formative evaluation of SAFEline, a call, chat, and text advocacy services for survivors of interpersonal violence. The evaluation describes the SAFEline model of advocacy, adaptations needed for chat- and text-based advocacy services, and barriers and recommendation for technology-based advocacy services.
