“…Based on a review conducted by Ashley and colleagues~2003!, no randomized controlled studies have been conducted on the efficacy of job-training treatment components in gender-tailored programs for women in general or for Black and Hispanic women specifically. Services directed at helping women obtain safe housing, job training, and education are especially important for treatment of women with trauma because economic dependence can place women at risk of reliance on abusive partners and further victimization~Browne & Bassuk, 1997;Cunradi, Caetano, & Schafer, 2002;Kantor & Asdigian, 1997;Straus & Gelles, 1990;Salomon, Bassuk, & Huntington, 2002;Wolfner & Gelles, 1993!. We found some support for our second hypothesis that compared to White women, Hispanic and Black women are at greater risk for other social vulnerabilities, including criminal justice involvement, termination of parental rights, and greater exposure to community violence, even when controlling for differences in socioeconomic resources. Racial0ethnic group differences were significant for criminal justice involvement and vulnerability to community-based interpersonal violence.…”
