这项定性研究探讨了亲密伴侣暴力的文化背景如何影响一个移民群体（海地妇女）获得主流服务的机会。对数据的分析揭示了两大主题。首先，海地移民社区亲密伴侣暴力的性质和背景导致海地妇女不愿寻求服务，而且她们总体上容易遭受亲密伴侣暴力。第二，海地妇女基本上无法获得主流服务。最后，作者提出了通过教育克服文化障碍、提高主流服务的文化能力和创造替代性社区服务的建议。
This qualitative study explored how the cultural context of intimate partner violence affected accessibility to mainstream services for one immigrant group: Haitian women. Analysis of the data revealed two major themes. First, the nature and context of intimate partner violence in the Haitian immigrant community contribute to Haitian women's reluctance to seek services as well as their overall vulnerability to intimate partner violence. Second, mainstream services are largely inaccessible to Haitian women. The authors conclude with suggestions for overcoming cultural barriers through education, increasing cultural competency of mainstream services, and creating alternative community-based services.
