Developing a Theory of Economic Solvency for Women Who Have Experienced Intimate Partner Violence

A Model of Economic Solvency has been created, and this Grounded Theory study serves to validate the model and give more details so that it can be effectively used in research and interventions. The revised model defines economic solvency as a woman's hu…
