移民和难民妇女遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和亲密伴侣凶杀（IPH）的风险很高。鉴于美国移民和难民人数的不断增加以及移民和难民群体对IPV和IPH的关注，本文旨在确定幸存者和从业者对(a)移民和难民妇女IPV和IPH的共同和文化特定风险和保护因素以及(b)对面临严重或致命暴力风险的幸存者的安全规划干预领域的看法。这项多地点研究的定性数据是从居住在美国七个不同地理位置的妇女和从业人员中收集的。对IPV的成年移民和难民幸存者进行了83次深度访谈，他们被确定为亚洲人（n=30），拉丁人（n=30）和非洲人（n=23）。此外，对服务IPV移民和难民幸存者的从业人员（n=62）进行了9个焦点小组和5个关键信息提供者访谈。结果显示，IPV/IPH在社会层面（如父权制文化规范）、关系层面（如伴侣虐待行为）和个人层面（如美国的文化适应）存在多层次的风险和保护因素。这些发现可以为法律、社会服务和医疗保健环境中文化响应性风险评估和安全规划干预措施的发展提供信息。
Immigrant and refugee women are at high risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and intimate partner homicide (IPH). Given the growing number of immigrants and refugees in the US and the concerns about IPV and IPH among immigrant and refugee groups, this paper aims to identify survivors and practitioners' perceptions of (a) common and culturally specific risk and protective factors for IPV and IPH for immigrant and refugee women and (b) areas of safety planning interventions for survivors who are at risk for severe or lethal violence by an intimate partner. Qualitative data for this multi-site study were collected from women and practitioners residing in seven geographically diverse US locations. Eighty-three in-depth interviews were conducted with adult immigrant and refugee survivors of IPV, who identified as Asian (n=30), Latina (n=30), and African (n=23). Additionally, nine focus groups and five key informant interviews were conducted with practitioners (n=62) who serve immigrant and refugee survivors of IPV. Results revealed multilevel risk and protective factors for IPV/IPH found at the societal level (e.g., patriarchal cultural norms), relationship level (e.g., partner abusive behaviors), and individual level (e.g., acculturation in the US). These findings can inform the development of culturally responsive risk assessment and safety planning interventions across legal, social service, and healthcare settings.
