TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Barriers to disclosure of intimate partner violence among undocumented Spanish-speaking immigrants in the united states JO - Violence against women A1 - Zero, Odette A1 - Tobin-Tyler, Elizabeth A1 - Goldman, Roberta E. SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Undocumented monolingual Spanish-speaking immigrants are one of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups to experience intimate partner violence (IPV) in the United States. This paper explores the barriers that prevent IPV disclosure in healthcare settings. Qualitative interviews (nā=ā14) were conducted with previously undocumented Spanish-speaking legal clients of a community domestic violence agency. The major barriers expressed by the interviewees regarding IPV screening and disclosure include limited opportunities for IPV screening, misinformation about legal rights from abusers, fear of deportation and separation from children, and lack of knowledge about resources.
