520 _aThere is very little research on interventions to alleviate the distress experienced following rape. This action research project developed and piloted the “Taking Back Control” tool that measured the impact of rape crisis counseling over time. Five rape crisis centers in the North of England agreed to pilot the tool, which was administered by the client’s counselor, either on Week 1 or 2, and then repeated every 6 weeks until the end of counseling. Despite some limitations, this research begins to develop an evidence base for rape crisis centers to demonstrate their benefits and to assess and develop their own practice.
