The SDPS is a nine-item measure that assesses intimate partner violence survivors' perception of the degree to which their advocates help them achieve goals they set for themselves, facilitate a spirit of partnership, and show sensitivity to their individual needs and styles.

MOVERS is a 13-item scale that measures survivor empowerment within the domain of safety. MOVERS is composed of three subscales that assess distinct domains of safety related empowerment: Internal Tools, Expectation of Support, and Trade-offs. Participants respond to each item using a five-point Likert scale (from "never true" to "always true") with the Trade-offs subscale being reversed scored. Scores on each subscale are summed to produce total scores. Higher scores indicate an increase in safety related empowerment.
Time frame: up to 1 year post visit 1, until child is 2 years of age
