“…2017; Villegas and Espinoza 2017). Approximately 15.6 percent of Hispanic women have experienced physical violence at the hands of an intimate partner at some point in their lives (Sabina 2016; Sabina, Cuevas, and Zadnik 2015). More studies employing large national samples are needed, as they may offer more accurate estimates and an improved understanding of factors connected with IPV.…”

Objective The purpose of this study was to examine the factors and prevalence rates associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) victimizations by nativity status among Hispanic women. Methods Data were pooled and analyzed from the 2010 to 2020 National Crime Victimization Survey. A total of 4309 Hispanic women who responded to the citizenship question were included in the final sample. Results IPV victimization was associated with nativity status for Hispanic women, and IPV prevalence was higher among U.S.‐born Hispanic women than foreign‐born Hispanic women. The factors of geographic region, relationship status, education level, occupation status, and substance abuse were associated with IPV victimization. Conclusion These findings have implications for positively impacting culturally competent preventative programs and interventions to reduce IPV victimizations for Hispanic women.

“…Given the severe lack of this research topic, it will be important to examine how samples of various age groups with differing life experiences view economic abuse. Moreover, different cultures, such as Latino cultures, highly value machismo or being manly and selfreliant(Sabina, 2016). Cultures or groups that place a stronger value on these male roles may be even more likely to blame male victims than Caucasian populations.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) consists of many subtypes, including physical, emotional, and economic abuse. Of IPV's subtypes, economic abuse is the least studied, yet it is one of the most prevalent. To remedy this imbalance, in this study we examined individuals' perceptions of economic abuse toward female and male victims. Participants were given one of two scenarios depicting a heterosexual couple with either the female or the male being the victim of the economic abuse. We measured participants' likelihood to blame the victim and minimize the abuse. Gender role ideology was also measured as a predictor variable. We found that economic abuse perpetuated by a female was minimized more than abuse perpetuated by a male and that male victims were blamed more than female victims. Male participants were more likely to blame the victim and minimize the abuse than female participants in both scenarios. Finally, hostile sexism was a significant predictor for both blame and minimization.

Purpose This study examines immigrant Latinas’ (ILs’) help-seeking behaviors, types of support systems, and access to intimate partner violence (IPV) services during a global health crisis (COVID-19) at a community-based agency in a Northeastern state. Method Nineteen immigrant Latinas who had prior IPV-related services such as legal aid, advocacy, and support within 1–3 years were recruited for the study. Spanish-speaking telephone interviews averaging between 30 and 45 min were conducted with each participant. Content analysis was the method employed to review the data and generate themes of the participants’ experiences. Results Participants’ qualitative responses included an increase of intimate partner violence during the pandemic. Types of support systems included reaching out to police departments, hospitals and health-care settings, and community-based agencies. Findings indicated a 47% positive response rate when working with police officers (e.g., bilingual Spanish-English speaking police officers), and the participants reported being supported by the agency staff where they received services. Conclusion Recommendations are provided to the community-based agency and other service providers regarding ongoing delivery of services and best practices for ILs throughout the pandemic transitions and beyond.
