<br><br><b>9. Study on Service Utilization Among Survivors at MIT<br></b>Hello friends of Violence Prevention & Response,<br><br>I am emailing to let you all know about a study I am leading that looks at the service utilization pathways survivors of sexual violence, relationship abuse, stalking or harassment take following an incident at the institution. Specifically, I'm interviewing survivors about what services they have used on and off campus, their experiences with those services, recommendations for improvement, and on what it's like to be a survivor of violence or abuse at MIT. The information obtained through the study will be used to improve services at MIT, and measures have been built into the study design to ensure participants' confidentiality.<br>
<br>It would be greatly, greatly appreciated if you could pass this information on to anyone you think might be interested in the study, or any students or student groups you may have access to.<br><br>Please do not hesitate to email me with questions or for more information.<br>
