Abstract

Items from the General Support, Informational Support, and Physical Support subscales of the Bosch Support Measure were developed and administered in a small survey of 56 formerly abused rural women in midwestern USA. Maximum likelihood factor analyses were performed on the total of 16 items. A five-factor solution appeared to produce the best results, but only three of the associated subscales yielded Cronbach alphas greater than .70. Limitations of the study are discussed along with implications for professionals working with abused rural women.
