“…However, there is very little research investigating ways in which BIPs may better address the particular structural, cultural, and contextual issues that lead to IPV in ethnic and racial minority groups. Although some research indicates no difference between racial and ethnic minority groups concerning IPV perpetration (Buttell, Powers, & Wang, 2012;Field & Caetano, 2004;Lipsky, Caetano, & Roy-Byrne, 2009;Rennison & Planty, 2003), most research on the topic highlights race and ethnicity as indicators of IPV (Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler, & Field, 2005;Melander, Noel, & Tyler, 2010;West, 2012). Culturally focused BIP curricula have received mixed reviews concerning their effectiveness (Gelles, 2001;Gondolf & Williams, 2001;Almeida, Woods, Messineo, & Font, 1998); however, more research should be conducted identifying beneficial cultural factors for integrating into curricula, and more studies should be directed toward the evaluation of these culturally centered programs.…”
