Abstract
To help a broad array of practitioners identify women at greatest risk, the Chicago Women's Health Risk Study explored factors indicating significant danger of death or life-threatening injury in intimate violence situations. The study compared longitudinal interviews with physically abused women sampled at health centers with similar interviews of people who knew intimate partner homicide victims. The many agencies and individuals who collaborated to accomplish this complex project feel that the collaboration was successful because it evolved, developed a collaborative culture, had permeable role definitions, and agreed on a few central research and practice standards.
