I'm looking for a search string for gov docs related to this question What is the range of interventions used to increase language access to
intervention AND "language barrier*" OR translation AND "interpersonal violence"
Answer
Thanks for your question! Not knowing where you are located, I am covering government documents resources both free and fee-based.
.1. Since you are in Seattle WA, you might contact various academic and public libraries to access various fee-based databases covering government information. https://librarytechnology.org/libraries/ You might also use the libraries' online chat services to get info on suggested databases. Also, you might check the university library's webpages for Research Guides covering IPV - maybe Human Sciences and ask for help from the librarians in crafting your search strategies.
2. Catalog of US Government Publications https://catalog.gpo.gov/F?RN=201678496 The best index to government documents I did a search for "intimate partner volence" and found this record - which also lists other possible subject headings https://catalog.gpo.gov/F/MJ3LC9HHVA2T51EDR7A4NRJPCVBUAY21ETJ361QCAB9YY2H62M-11134?func=full-set-set&set_number=065252&set_entry=000001&format=999
3. USA.gov https://www.usa.gov/ The basic portal to government information I did this search and found some possibilities https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov_all_gov&query=%22domestic+violence%22+%22support+services%22+%22language+barriers%22
4. Google https://www.google.com/ Do a search and limit to site:gov e.g. IPV site:gov
6. You had asked for search strings. You came up with some good suggestions. One thing to remember - The more detailed the search string, the more possibiiliy of missing some relevant items related to your topic - so sometimes you may need to edit your search terms based on your topic.
Some of my suggestions are: "intimate partner violence" and "support services" and "language barriers) but there are are number of other possibilities depending on how extensive a search you want to do.
My last thought is that although there should be some resources from government sources, there probably will be also a lot of resources from non-govt sources. If you want to include that way, I would let me know or ask for help with local librrians.
Thanks
