鉴于关于亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)风险的种族/民族差异的非决定性发现，这项研究将估计在接受公共初级卫生保健的英语和西班牙语非裔美国人、白人和西班牙裔妇女中，亲密伴侣暴力风险的年度流行率和严重性以及相关的杀人风险因素。一项个人访谈调查使用了三种测量工具，包括一个简短的两个问题屏幕。样本包括7,443名年龄在18-44岁之间的女性，她们在德克萨斯州南部的城市初级卫生保健诊所接受护理。白人女性披露的性侵比例为8.9%，其次是非洲裔女性(6.0%)和西班牙裔女性(5.3%)。与西班牙裔女性相比，白人和非裔美国女性报告的虐待行为更多。使用简短的两个问题屏幕为患者护理方案提供种族/民族特定的监测数据，并可以跟踪减少对妇女的暴力行为的进展情况。
Given inconclusive findings regarding racial/ethnic differences in risk for intimate partner violence (IPV), this study will estimate annual prevalence and severity of IPV and associated risk factors of homicide among a multiethnic population of English‐ and Spanish‐speaking African American, White, and Hispanic women receiving public primary health care. A personal interview survey was conducted using three measurement instruments including a brief two‐question screen. The sample consisted of 7,443 women, aged 18–44 years, receiving care at urban, primary health care clinics in southern Texas. White women disclosed abuse at a rate of 8.9%, followed by African American women at 6.0% and Hispanic women at 5.3%. More abuse was reported by White and African American women compared to Hispanic women. Use of a brief two‐question screen provides racial/ethnic specific surveillance data for patient care programming and can track progress toward decreasing violence against women.
