In the title bar at the top there is a left pointing arrow next to "My Relationship". Clicking that takes you back to the opening page. Click the top "My Relationaship" block again you'll get a pop up asking you if you want to see your results, start over or close. Click "Start Over" and you begin at the beginning again.<br /><br />I tried it several times.<br /><br />First, the only relationship type it will evaluate is Female with a male partner. Any other choices just causes it to exit.<br /><br />Next, you only have to answer one of the three "screening" questions "Yes" to be evaluated as at risk...even if you answered "no" to "does your boyfriend make you feel unsafe", if you said that your partner makes you feel owned and controlled, that's enough for you to be considered at risk.<br /><br />In the screening itself, if you answer every question "No", it doesn't give you a risk assessment of zero, it tells you it can't assess because you didn't answer all the questions. Basically, the app is designed to find risk and doesn't even know what to do if you don't answer at least one question "yes".<br /><br />Next, I started going through it and answering just one question "yes" to compare the relative levels of each risk factor. I always selected "yes" to the middle screening question (the one about feeling owned and controlled) to start at the same baseline.<br /><br />Then I'd leave every other question at "No" and select "Yes" only for the one question I wanted to see the risk level for. Here are my results: <br /><br />Question answered "yes" to<br />Risk Level<br /><br /><br />"Is he unemployed?"<br />Risk Level: 4<br /><br />"Does he threaten to kill you?"<br />Risk Level: 3<br /><br />"has he ever used a weapon or threatened to use a deadly weapon against you"<br />Risk Level: 3<br /><br />"is he an alcoholic or problem drinker?"<br />Risk Level: 1<br /><br />"has he ever beaten you when you were pregnant?"<br />Risk Level: 2<br /><br />"has he ever forced you to have sex when you didn't want to?"<br />Risk Level: 2<br /><br /><b>"does he own a gun?"<br />Risk Level: 5</b><br /><br />According to this app developer, a woman is at a higher risk if her boyfriend simply OWNS a gun than if he's raped her, beaten her while pregnant, threatened to kill her or actually USED a weapon against her.<br /><br />Go figure.<br /><br /> Sailorcurthttp://sailorcurt.comnoreply@blogger.com
