N2  - This study explored the association between informal support (positive/negative) and three formal services (police, legal, and domestic violence services) among battered women and to examine the factors that influence their use of formal services. One hundred and fourteen battered women were recruited through domestic violence agencies in four metropolitan areas. A logistic regression analysis was employed separately for each of three formal services. The results showed that only positive informal support had a significant impact on the use of all three of these formal services. These findings emphasize the need for more attention to understand the informal networks of isolated women to reach formal services.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
