This study examined knowledge, access, utilization, and barriers to use of resources among Black women exposed to multiple types of intimate partner violence in Baltimore, Maryland and the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI).
We analyzed quantitative survey data collected by 163 women recruited from primary care, prenatal or family planning clinics in Baltimore and the USVI. In addition we analyzed qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 11 women. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
A substantial proportion of Black women with multiple types of violence experiences lacked knowledge of, did not have access to, and did not use resources. Barriers to resource use were identified at the individual, relationship, and community levels.
There is need for programs to develop awareness, promote access and utilization of resources, and eliminate barriers to resource use among abused Black women.
本研究调查了马里兰州巴尔的摩市和美属维尔京群岛（美属维京群岛）遭受多种亲密伴侣暴力的黑人女性在资源使用方面的知识、获取途径、利用情况及障碍。
我们分析了从巴尔的摩市和美属维京群岛的初级保健、产前或计划生育诊所招募的163名女性收集的定量调查数据。此外，我们还分析了对11名女性进行深入访谈的定性数据。定量数据采用描述性统计进行分析，定性数据采用主题分析进行分析。
很大一部分经历过多种暴力的黑人女性缺乏资源知识，无法获取资源，也未使用资源。在个人、关系和社区层面均发现了资源使用的障碍。
需要开展相关项目，提高受虐黑人女性的意识，促进资源的获取和利用，并消除资源使用的障碍。
