Domestic violence (DV) experienced by immigrant women is a public health concern. In collaboration with a community agency, researchers undertook a retrospective review of 1,763 client files from 2006-2014. The three aims were to document the incidence of DV, service needs associated with DV, and identification of risk factors associated with DV in the extracted file data. About 41% reported DV and required multiple services. Separated and divorced women, and women on visitor/temporary visas showed the highest risk. The results underscore the value of research partnerships with community-based service agencies in increasing our understanding of DV among immigrant women.
家庭暴力(DV)是移民妇女面临的一个公共卫生问题。研究人员与一家社区机构合作,对 2006 年至 2014 年的 1763 名客户档案进行了回顾性审查。这三个目标是记录 DV 的发生率、与 DV 相关的服务需求以及从提取的文件数据中确定与 DV 相关的风险因素。约 41%的人报告了 DV 并需要多种服务。分居和离婚妇女以及持访客/临时签证的妇女风险最高。研究结果强调了与基于社区的服务机构建立研究伙伴关系的价值,这有助于我们加深对移民妇女中 DV 的认识。
