Abstract
In the United States, there are approximately 2,000 domestic violence facilities, ranging from short-term shelters to longer-term transitional housing facilities providing a safe haven for women and their children fleeing life-threatening violence. Survey researchers interested in working with populations resident in domestic violence facilities may find that a number of social and legal factors complicate their ability to do so, including legal restrictions, trauma-informed trust issues, social services fatigue, facility culture, and restricted access to records. This article offers a brief overview of these issues and offers research-based best practices for overcoming them in survey research.
