This study examines the prevalence and correlations between different types of intimate partner violence among Latinx women using a variety of measures. The results indicate high prevalence of various types of abuse and significant correlations between certain types of abuse. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive measurement, screening, and safety planning for intimate partner violence.
Despite increased attention on intimate partner violence (IPV) among Latinx women in the United States, measurement often overlooks economic abuse, reproductive coercion, institution-related threats, and technology-facilitated abuse. Using a broad range of measures, this paper examines prevalence and correlations between different types of IPV among a sample of 38 Latinx women enrolled into a pilot study. Results indicate consistently high prevalence of IPV types and significant correlations between several types of abuse (including sexual abuse, technology-facilitated abuse, and institution-related threats). Findings emphasize the need for comprehensive IPV measurement, screening, expanded safety planning, and research on the impact of these types of abuse.
