尽管美国的移民妇女人口不断增加，她们更容易受到亲密伴侣暴力的伤害，但在文化上尚无称职的工具来评估受虐待的移民妇女中的杀人和未来暴力风险。目前的研究修改了危险评估(DA)，这是一种风险评估工具，旨在识别面临亲密或前任亲密伴侣致命暴力风险的IPV受害者，供移民妇女使用。对148名移民妇女进行了二次分析，她们参与了一项纵向风险评估研究。20个原始DA项目和另外12个风险项目在后续访谈中使用与任何或严重IPV相关的相对风险比进行测试。用受试者工作特性曲线检验预测效度。结果表明，支持由26个项目组成的经修订的《移民妇女危险评估》(DA-I)。DA-I对9个月后任何严重的IPV的预测明显好于最初DA和女性对风险的预测。DA-I是一种具有文化能力的风险评估，可用于评估再次空翻和严重IPV的风险，以帮助移民妇女进行安全规划。
Despite the growing population of immigrant women in the United States and their greater vulnerability to intimate partner violence (IPV), there are no culturally competent instruments to assess the risk of homicide and future violence among abused immigrant women. The current study modifies the Danger Assessment (DA), a risk assessment instrument aimed at identifying victims of IPV who are at risk for lethal violence by an intimate or ex-intimate partner, for use with immigrant women. A secondary analysis was conducted with 148 immigrant women who participated in a longitudinal risk assessment study. The 20 original DA items and an additional 12 risk items were tested using relative risk ratios for their association with any or severe IPV at a follow-up interview. Predictive validity was tested with the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results indicate support for a revised Danger Assessment for Immigrant Women (DA-I) consisting of 26 items. The DA-I predicts any and severe IPV at a nine-month follow-up significantly better than the original DA and women's predictions of risk. The DA-I is a culturally competent risk assessment that can be used to assess the risk of reassault and severe IPV to assist immigrant women with safety planning.
