Abstract

This article reviews IPV data and research related to specific racial and cultural groups, while placing the issue in a wider public health perspective. Our purpose is to provide clinicians with broad understanding and increased sensitivity to the cultural, socioeconomic, and public health milieu of IPV, offering specific tools they can use to assess and reduce this problem. The review finds literature rich in specific examination of cultural settings of IPV. Although we find that specific features related to race and ethnicity impact IPV, we also find that race and culture�unlike socioeconomic status�are not predictors of IPV.
