Developed in 1989 by Dr. Bonnie L Yegidis, the Abuse Risk Inventory for Women (ARI) is a screening tool intended to identify women at risk for abuse. It contains twenty-five items which can be completed in approximately 10 to 15 minutes. It can be used by physicians or other health care providers, by social service agencies, or by marital and relationship counselors. In addition to its primary function, it provides socio-demographic information and history for both the respondent and their partner.
