ABSTRACT
Ensuring that support and services are meeting the needs of survivor-victims (SV) of sexual assault requires that policymakers, service providers, and advocates seek their insight directly. This article reports qualitative results on self-perceived needs from SV focus groups conducted in the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the United States (Phoenix, Arizona). Interviews with key informants (KIs) drawn from the service and justice sector were also obtained for system-level perspectives of SV priority needs. The major themes of the SV conversations demonstrated that they use a holistic wellness perspective. Their narratives mapped across the social-ecological model and demonstrated a wide range of wants and needs beyond justice. KI narratives identified options typically listed on a grant menu. SVs spoke of what they needed in their daily lives. Typically, KIs focused on increased funds to offer more of the same interventions currently available. The findings open opportunities to better align services with what SVs seek, and further underscore the need to engage them in planning and implementation.
