“…Abused Latina and Asian immigrant women face significant social, cultural, structural, and political barriers to patient-provider communication and help-seeking behaviors related to IPV. [71][72][73] U.S.-born ethnic minority women face similar barriers in addition to medical mistrust, perceived discrimination, and historical racism and trauma for both African Americans and indigenous Americans. 31 To appropriately respond to the health needs of these women, it is essential that these multiple stressors be considered simultaneously.…”

In the United States, intimate partner violence (IPV) against women disproportionately affects ethnic minorities. Further, disparities related to socioeconomic and foreign-born status impact the adverse physical and mental health outcomes as a result of IPV, further exacerbating these health consequences. This article reviews 36 U.S. studies on the physical (e.g., multiple injuries, disordered eating patterns), mental (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder), and sexual and reproductive health conditions (e.g., HIV/STIs, unintended pregnancy) resulting from IPV victimization among ethnic minority (i.e., Black/African American, Hispanic/Latina, Native American/Alaska Native, Asian American) women, some of whom are immigrants. Most studies either did not have a sufficient sample size of ethnic minority women or did not use adequate statistical techniques to examine differences among different racial/ethnic groups. Few studies focused on Native American/Alaska Native and immigrant ethnic minority women and many of the intra-ethnic group studies have confounded race/ethnicity with income and other social determinants of health. Nonetheless, of the available data, there is evidence of health inequities associated with both minority ethnicity and IPV. To appropriately respond to the health needs of these groups of women, it is necessary to consider social, cultural, structural, and political barriers (e.g., medical mistrust, historical racism and trauma, perceived discrimination, immigration status) to patient-provider communication and help-seeking behaviors related to IPV, which can influence health outcomes. This comprehensive approach will mitigate the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities related to IPV and associated health outcomes and behaviors.

“…Gender disparities resulting from acculturation, or increased adoption of American values and norms, can lead to higher levels of stress in the Hispanic immigrant family. This can lead to an increased rate of IPV (Adames & Campbell, 2005;Klevens, 2007;Mattson & Ruiz, 2005).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess intimate partner violence (IPV) and alcohol use among Latino migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The 291 Latino participants were interviewed in Spanish at migrant camps and residences in 3 counties located in southeastern North Carolina. The findings of this study indicate significant gender differences in IPV and alcohol use among the Latino population in the southeastern United States. The findings also indicate that there is a serious problem of IPV and alcohol use among Latinos in the southeastern United States, suggesting the need for routine screening in primary care settings.

“…Given that Latina women regularly report machismo as a source or trigger of IPV (Coffin-Romig, 1997;WHO, 2005), similar to what female IPV victims in the general population report when interviewed in shelters for victims, research results in this area continue to mystify and suggest the need for further qualitative research. Adames and Campbell (2005) found that that in the immigrant Latino community they studied qualitatively, intimate relationships are "characterized by men's domination and women's subordination." Similarly, many of the participants in our study were strongly convinced that partner violent men are more machista than others.…”

Research based on a demographic survey and qualitative interviews of Latino intimate partner violence perpetrators in Southern California forms the basis of a Spanish-language treatment program designed to be culturally appropriate for Latino immigrant men, and piloted for 4 years with their input. Culturally-specific topics emphasized by participants and integrated into the program are: effective parenting skills for men; gender roles; discussion of discrimination towards immigrants and women; immigration and changing gender roles; marital sexual abuse; and spirituality as related to violence prevention. Attention is given to alcohol abuse and childhood trauma. Results suggest the desirability of an empathic and culturally-sensitive approach, without diminishing responsibility. This program was designed to help clinicians refine their skills and effectiveness in working with this rapidly expanding population.
