TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Aspects of help seeking among collegiate victims of dating violence JO - Journal of family violence A1 - Cho, Hyunkag A1 - Huang, Lihua SP - 409 EP - 417 VL - 32 IS - 4 N2 - This study applied Andersen's model of health service use to help-seeking among collegiate dating violence (DV) victims, and examined factors for help-seeking. A total of 338 students from a Midwest public university were included in the sample. The study results showed many college students experience psychological, physical, sexual and technological violence; substance use is associated with DV; the type of violence experienced is associated with the type of help sources that victims will use; and victims seek help from informal sources more than formal sources. Implications for social work research, practice and policy are discussed.
