## What is Domestic Violence Inventory?

The Domestic Violence Inventory (DVI) provides information about the risks of potential victims and potential offenders.  It is a clinical instrument. It is based on expert opinion of specifiers which are evidence based.  It provides a result of severity to help those who take DVI make good decisions about their welfare and those they care about. In this way, it adapts the model of DSM V which mental health professionals use. It is currently going through clinical trials.

This is the beta version of DVI. Our first goal is that you find the application educational. We also use the app for our research. Please take the surveys and contribute your data to our database.

Please note, we collect no device ID or personal information, but do record anonymous usage and other data for research and quality purposes.

### 1/5 — DONT BOTHER THIS APP IS A HOAX!

*2018-05-18*

I downloaded and filled out the risk survey to calculate my dvi risk. It said it was undetectable ?! I altered it a couple times and still it said undetectable.

YOU SHOULD BE FINED FOR FAKE BS APP THAT PROMISES TO HELP AND DOES NOTHING!!

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2018-01-19*

I decided to download this to see if it could be helpful for people, as I’m a professional who has worked with people who have been in various violent situations. The “DVI” was confusing, which is not a good sign since I wasn’t distressed or experiencing anything myself at the time. Asking “Have you experienced” or “witnessed” and then switching to “Has the person...” is strange. You can make it more obvious that it’s about another person OR the person taking it, if you want to do so (it can be used for either one). The questions at the end changed to “Can you not” do this or that or “do you not” do (whatever it is). Why not just ask a direct question? Examples: Do you, can you, etc. Otherwise, it’s confusing, especially for someone who is in a violent relationship. It said my DVI was “undetectable”. There was no explanation as to what that meant—which really wouldn’t help a person who doesn’t have much education regarding his or her risk of becoming a victim of violence or anything, really. 

Please make changes to this. I didn’t get to take the other quiz (or do anything else) because the app froze at the screen where it said my risk was undetectable, but right now it’s unlikely to help anyone, and it seemed from the description that you wanted to improve it. Also, updating the app to include newer versions of devices is important as well. Thanks.
