While neighbourhood influences on the risk of intimate partner violence have been reported, this body of research has suffered from a lack of strong theoretical and conceptual guidance, and few studies have examined the potential pathways from neighbourhoods to intimate partner violence. This paper used concept mapping methods with 37 women who were residents of Baltimore City to obtain cluster maps representing the important neighbourhood domains that affect the prevalence, perpetration, severity, and cessation of intimate partner violence. Domains important for intimate partner severity and perpetration differed from those important for cessation of intimate partner violence. Finally, diagrams of the domains, drawn by the concept mapping participants, illustrated the pathways by which neighbourhood characteristics potentially influence intimate partner violence severity, perpetration, and cessation. These results can be used to generate testable hypotheses regarding neighbourhood influences on intimate partner violence in future quantitative research and to inform the design of public health intimate partner violence programmes.
虽然已有研究报告了邻里环境对亲密伴侣暴力风险的影响，但这一研究领域缺乏强有力的理论和概念指导，很少有研究探讨从邻里环境到亲密伴侣暴力的潜在途径。本文采用概念映射方法，对37名巴尔的摩市居民女性进行研究，以获得聚类图，呈现影响亲密伴侣暴力的发生率、实施情况、严重程度及终止情况的重要邻里环境领域。对亲密伴侣暴力严重程度和实施情况重要的领域，与对亲密伴侣暴力终止情况重要的领域不同。最后，由概念映射参与者绘制的领域图，阐明了邻里环境特征可能影响亲密伴侣暴力严重程度、实施情况及终止情况的途径。这些结果可用于在未来的定量研究中生成关于邻里环境对亲密伴侣暴力影响的可检验假设，并为公共卫生亲密伴侣暴力项目的设计提供参考。
