One of the most common questions the general public asks about intimate partner violence (ipv) is "Why does she stay?"

In Module 1, Lawrence Green and his colleagues identified three types  of factors that can affect the help-seeking process by either  encouraging or discouraging action:

1. Predisposing factors: attitudes, perceptions, or beliefs that either facilitate or hinder personal motivation to act
2. Enabling factors: factors  that either help by their presence or hinder by their absence like the  ability to obtain necessary assistance (limited facilities, inadequate  personnel, lack of funds)
3. Reinforcing factors: characteristics of services or attitudes of caregivers that assist in decision-making like the feedback or attention received.
