This article examined general help-seeking utilization and barriers among U.S. Black women reporting severe physical intimate partner violence (IPV). Data from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL), the largest and most detailed survey on Blacks residing in the United States, were analyzed. Among U.S. Black women reporting severe physical IPV, many sought the help of a psychiatrist (13.8%) or other mental health professionals (14.0%). Multivariate findings revealed associations between help-seeking utilization and sociodemographic factors. Queries from open responses suggested potential cultural and ethnic differences between African American and Caribbean Black women reporting intimate partner violence in relation to barriers to help-seeking.
本文考察了报告严重身体亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的美国黑人女性的一般求助利用情况和障碍。分析了美国国家生活调查（NSAL）的数据，这是关于居住在美国的黑人的最大和最详细的调查。在美国报告严重身体 IPV 的黑人女性中，许多人寻求精神病医生（13.8%）或其他心理健康专业人员（14.0%）的帮助。多变量研究结果显示，求助利用与社会人口因素之间存在关联。来自开放式回复的查询表明，在寻求帮助的障碍方面，报告亲密伴侣暴力的非裔美国人和加勒比黑人女性之间可能存在文化和种族差异。
