“…The instrument was developed as an expansion of the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS; Straus, 1979). The CTS is the most widely used instrument in research on IPA (Dutton, 1992;Fowler & Hill, 2004;Lockhart, 1985). Like the CTS, the ABOC has been shown to have strong reliability and validity (Brown, Hill, & Lambert, 2005;Dutton, 1992).…”

Little is known about the influence of spirituality on service utilization and satisfaction among women survivors of intimate partner abuse (IPA). The purpose of this study was to examine differences between shelter and faith-based service utilization and satisfaction in a shelter sample (N = 73). Multiple regression techniques were used. The findings suggest that survivors with higher spirituality were more likely to utilize faith-based resources than shelters. Those who experienced greater IPA reported dissatisfaction with faith-based resources. These results suggest that spirituality should be incorporated into shelter services to meet survivors' spiritual needs, and faith-based services should adequately address IPA.

“…Religion, race and ethnicity have received little empirical study in the Canadian literature on familyviolence4 (I~eKeseredy & Hinch,1991;Smith, 1990), but the U.S. literature provides studies on the nature and extent of domestic violence experienced by African American (Coley & Beckett, 1988a, 1988bHampton & Gelles, 1994;Lockhart, 1985Lockhart, ,1987Lockhart, , 1991 White, 1989), Hispanic American (Sorenson & Telles, 1991;Torres, 1987Torres, , 1991, Asian American (Chin, 1994;Ho, 1990), and Jewish American women (Giller,1991 ). This literature attempts to ascertain the relative contributions of class or socioeconomic status, race and ethnicity to the extent of violence against women, and examines cultural variations in the construction of wife abuse and in women's help-seeking responses, including those of immigrant and refugee women.…”

“…This question remains unanswered, and there appears to be a discrepancy in the literature regarding whether there are differences between minority and non-minority clients in baseline characteristics, substance use and IPV treatment outcomes (5, 9, 10). For example, surveys of IPV within community samples have shown higher rates of IPV among African-Americans compared to Caucasians.…”

“…Today, with such improvements in research methodology and respondent’s willingness to disclose information, it is likely that the disparity between groups has lessened. That is, the differences in rates of violence have decreased from twice as likely to engage in violence to equivalent levels of violence (9, 10). …”

Background It isunclear whether racial differences in treatment effect exist for individuals in substance abuse and domestic violence programs. Objectives This study examined racial differences in treatment effect among substance dependent Caucasian and African-American male intimate partner violence (IPV) offenders court mandated to an integrated substance abuse and domestic violence treatment. Methods From baseline to completion of treatment (week 12), 75 participants (39 Caucasian; 36 African-American) were assessed on demographics, substance use, legal characteristics, and use of violence (physical, verbal, and psychological). Results African-American men served more months incarcerated in their life than Caucasian men. Both groups showed decreases in their use of physical violence and alcohol abuse over treatment. Caucasian men also showed a decrease in their use of verbal abuse. Conclusions and Scientific Significance At treatment completion, both groups showed a reduction in physical abuse and alcohol abuse. Caucasian men showed a reduction in their use of verbal abuse, but African-American men did not. Substance dependent African-American male IPV offenders may benefit from interventions that thoroughly target communication skills in addition to issues of substance abuse and IPV to reduce use of verbal abuse and improve treatment outcomes among African American men.
