N2  - This study compares risk factors for intimate partner violence–related injury across two national data sources on violence against women, the Canadian Violence Against Women Survey and the National Violence Against Women Survey in the United States. After equating the data sets as much as possible on the types of violence experienced and risk factors, the authors determined which risk factors in each data source predicted injury and compared the magnitudes of associations between risk factors and injury across the data sets. The article presents results on bivariate and multivariate findings, model fit across the data sets, and statistical comparisons of findings across the data sets. Obtaining convergent findings across data sources on risk factors for injury will allow public health practitioners to intervene more effectively with women at risk for experiencing violence-related injuries perpetrated by spouses.<p />
