From the event page:
"Coercive control is a complex behavioural phenomenon where severity, frequency, and patterns need to be examined for an individual collectively. However, approaches to measuring coercive control to date have demonstrated limited understanding of these patterns of behaviours by a partner or ex-partner that reflect an individual woman’s experience. Through standard instrument development, with academic and lived experience feedback and psychometric testing, we developed the Coercive-Composite Abuse Scale (C-CAS). The C-CAS, a self-report measure of coercive control experiences among women has demonstrated initial reliability and validity and is suitable for use in population or clinical studies."
