It Just Rips My Heart Out”
Family court child custody dispositions for women who have left violent partners can result in complications and difficulties. This secondary analysis of data from 2005 to 2009 describes the child custody dispositions of 369 Canadian women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) (48.5% Indigenous, 44.7% White, and 6.4% Visible Minority). Of these, the most common court disposition was mothers receiving sole custody (38.9%), then those who di…
They Laid Charges. They Got Him out of My House Every Time”
While police are gatekeepers to the criminal justice system for intimate partner violence (IPV), women are often divided about their helpfulness. The current secondary, mixed-methods analysis examined 575 Canadian women's impressions regarding police intervention (50.3% Indigenous, 43.4% White, and 6.4% visible minority). In more than half of the cases (53.3%), the police arrested/removed their partner/ex-partner, 53% said the police "just talked…

This mixed methods secondary analysis focused on 280 Canadian separated/divorced mothers who were 48.4% White, 45.1% Indigenous, and 6.5% Visible Minority. Of 176 fathers, 105 (59.7%) had regular visits and, 71 (40.3%) visited sporadically; 104 had no contact. Comments from half the mothers (54.3%) with regular father–child visits indicated w…
It Was one of the Most Revealing Experiences of My Life
Groups are a common clinical intervention for women survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). This secondary mixed-methods analysis from a study of 567 Canadian women from the prairie provinces compared the mental health and well-being of 131 women who had attended a IPV group to 436 women who had not attended any group. Qualitatively, perspectives from 131 women (113 comments; 18 interviews) who attended some form of group treatment were ana…
It's a Valuable Service but a Hard Place to Be
This mixed-methods secondary analysis examined VAW shelter use by 662 Canadian women abused by partners (50.5% Indigenous, 43.4% White, and 6.1% visible minority). Women who had never resided in shelters ( n = 242) had less Severe Combined and Total IPV on the Composite Abuse Scale and fewer PTSD symptoms. More nonresidents worked full time and had higher incomes and no children. The 420 women residents mentioned strengths (70.4%) such as support…

This mixed-methods secondary analysis examines the demographics and narratives of 40 Canadian Indigenous women regarding their use of violence against women (VAW) emergency shelters (55%), second-stage VAW shelters (7.5%), mainstream community counseling (70%), and Indigenous healing practices (42.5%). Five women who identified as LGBTQ or two-s…
Your Skin Crawled Every Time He Touched You”
Bagwell-Gray et al. developed a taxonomy of intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV) focusing on type of force (physical or nonphysical) and type of sexual activity (penetration or no penetration). The current secondary descriptive qualitative analysis of interviews with 89 Canadian women IPV victims assessed IPSV that fit Bagwell-Gray's taxonomy. About half (46 or 51.7%) described sexual violence, most commonly sexual abuse (26 or 29.2%), sexual …
He Tells People That I Am Going to Kill My Children”
Relatively little research has examined men's use of coercive controlling tactics against female partners after separation. This mixed-methods secondary analysis of 346 Canadian women documented coercive controlling tactics used by their ex-partners (86.4% identified at least one). The composite abuse scale emotional abuse subscale and women being older were associated with men using coercive control tactics post-separation. A secondary qualitati…
Looking Back, the Programs Kept Me Alive”
The copious research on formal help-seeking of women abused by intimate partners, rarely narrows to counseling services. This mixed-methods secondary analysis examined 660 Canadian women and their use and impressions of counseling. The women’s racial backgrounds were 50.8% Indigenous, 43.1% White, and 6.1% visible minority. Women who did not seek counseling reported less serious IPV and fewer PTSD symptoms.

MeToo on the Canadian Prairies
Studies of intimate partner sexual assault (IPSA) and its effects on mental health are limited. This secondary data analysis examines IPSA, a history of child sexual abuse, depression, trauma, mental distress and quality of life in 665 Canadian women, 41% of whom had been sexually assaulted by intimate partners; 53% were sexually abused as children. Women who had experienced any IPSA had significantly higher scores on all Composite Abuse subscale…

The Mental Health and Well-Being of Canadian Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Women Abused by Intimate Partners
Intimate partner violence (IPV), mental health, disabilities, and child abuse history were examined for 292 Indigenous compared with 295 non-Indigenous Canadian women.

Protective Strategies of Mothers Abused by Intimate Partners
Exposure to intimate partner violence is detrimental to children, but can abused mothers protect them, and, if so, what can they do? This study of 350 Canadian abused women represents the first quantitative examination of such protective strategies. The actions that mothers most commonly used and perceived as effective include showing affection and being nurturing to their children. The strategies often suggested by professionals, such as contact…
You’re Not Alone
Racial Minority Women and Criminal Justice Responses to Domestic Violence
Every Day It Takes a Piece of You Away”
Child protection authorities are becoming routinely involved in cases of domestic violence, sometimes removing children from the home. Abused mothers can experience profound grief and loss, especially when their children are removed. This qualitative study focused on the impact of child protective services on mothers because of concerns of domestic violence. Experiences of loss were complex, and included the loss associated with removal of their …
I Built My House of Hope
Violence from intimate partners is a serious reality for a number of women. For some abused women, leaving becomes a path to homelessness. In fact, when abused women and their children leave their homes because of partner abuse, they become homeless even if they subsequently seek residence in a shelter for woman abuse. This project interviewed 62 women from across Canada who had been abused by partners and were homeless at some point. The women w…
Why physicians and nurses ask (or don’t) about partner violence
This research provides new insights into the complexities of IPV inquiry and the inter-relationships among barriers and facilitators faced by physicians and nurses. The experiences of these nurses and physicians suggest that more supports (e.g., supportive work environments, training, mentors, consultations, community resources, etc.) are needed by practitioners. These findings reflect the results of previous research yet offer perspectives on wh…
Factors influencing identification of and response to intimate partner violence
The present study provides new insight into the factors that facilitate and impede clinicians' decisions to address the issue of IPV with their female patients.

Residents' Views of the Efficacy of Shelter Services for Assaulted Women
Although shelters for abused women are common across North America, few have been evaluated. This qualitative study consisted of in-depth interviews with 63 shelter residents. Thirty-five of these women were interviewed in follow-ups 4 to 6 months later. In each interview, they were asked what they found helpful during their shelter stay. Residents were positive about the supportive nature of the staff, safety, relationships with other residents,…
