Asian and Latino Americans are two of the fastest growing populations in the United States, but have been underrepresented in literature on intimate partner violence (IPV), especially in relation to mental health care. This study used the National Latino and Asian American Study to examine differences in use of mental health services between Asian and Latino victims of IPV. The results show that Asian victims used mental health services less than Latinos, controlling for education, English proficiency, family values, the type of IPV, and perceived mental health status, and that help seeking of those victims was affected by various individual and social factors.
亚裔和拉丁裔美国人是美国增长最快的两个群体，但在亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）相关文献中代表性不足，特别是在心理健康护理方面。本研究使用全国拉丁裔和亚裔美国人研究，调查 IPV 亚裔和拉丁裔受害者在使用心理健康服务方面的差异。结果表明，控制教育程度、英语水平、家庭价值观、IPV 类型和感知心理健康状况后，亚裔受害者使用心理健康服务的比例低于拉丁裔受害者，且这些受害者的求助行为受到各种个人和社会因素的影响。
