abstract="Adopting a structural violence approach, we analyzed 2004 Canadian General Social Survey data to examine Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal inequalities in post-separation intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. Aboriginal women had 4.12 times higher odds of post-separation IPV than non-Aboriginal women (p < .001). Coercive control and age explained most of this inequality. The final model included Aboriginal status, age, a seven-item coercive control index, and stalking, which reduced the odds ratio for Aboriginal status to 1.92 (p = .085) and explained 70.5% of the Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal inequality in post-separation IPV. Research and action are needed that challenge structural violence, especially colonialism and its negative consequences.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
