Intimate-partner violence (IPV) is a major public health issue that disproportionately affects women, especially in Tanzania where 40% of women report experiencing IPV. While IPV research has focused on IPV victims and perpetrators, community leaders can provide valuable insight on IPV at the community level. We conducted 50 key informant interviews with community leaders in nine villages in the Karatu district. These leaders identified common themes regarding IPV causes and consequences, reporting methods, and future recommendations. This information can help mitigate IPV at the community level in future interventions and shows community leaders themselves could be powerful tools in future IPV programming.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）是一个重大的公共卫生问题，尤其对坦桑尼亚的妇女影响极大，那里有 40%的妇女报告曾经历过 IPV。虽然 IPV 研究主要集中在 IPV 的受害者和施害者身上，但社区领导可以在社区层面提供关于 IPV 的宝贵见解。我们在卡兰杜地区的九个村庄进行了 50 次与社区领导的关键知情者访谈。这些领导确定了关于 IPV 原因和后果、报告方法以及未来建议的共同主题。这些信息可以帮助在未来的干预措施中在社区层面减轻 IPV，并且表明社区领导本身可能是未来 IPV 规划中的有力工具。
