abstract="One area of significant concern for researchers of domestic violence is identifying the utility of objective risk assessment tools on diverse samples. This study included a sample of predominately African American women ( n = 57) living in a domestic violence shelter. The study compared the Danger Assessment (DA) and the Ontario Domestic Assault Risk Assessment (ODARA) to evaluate their responses of their risk for re-abuse. <br><br>RESULTS revealed a moderate to strong correlation between the DA and ODARA ( r =.73). Offender's age, habitation, and pregnancy status were not related to the victim's perceptions of risk for future abuse. Implications of these findings are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
