description Research suggests that women with disabilities are at increased risk for violence and abuse compared to non-disabled women. Abuse by personal assistance services (PAS) providers has been identified as a particular problem. The purpose of this study was to investigate women's experience of abuse, PAS behaviors women considered most harmful, barriers women perceived as impeding their response to PAS abuse, and strategies women perceived as most helpful for preventing or stopping PAS abuse. A survey was designed and administered to 200 women with physical, and physical and cognitive disabilities recruited through disability agencies and independent living centers. Findings suggested that women with disabilities experienced abuse at a higher rate than women without disabilities, and multiple barriers and strategies were critical to preventing or stopping abuse. Implications for further research are discussed.
