Indirect effects of PTSD, depression, and anxiety symptoms on the association between Covid-19 cases/symptoms and intimate partner violence perpetration in the United States.
1,183). The variables included self-reported data of IPV perpetration, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and COVID-19 symptoms ("likely COVID-19"). Additionally, we examined COVID-19 state-level data for tested and confirmed cases as reported by the Johns Hopkins University Center during March 2020 ("tested COVID-19"). Groups in states with higher incidence of COVID-19 had significantly higher rates of IPV perpetration than grou…
What Matters in Help-Seeking and Disclosure Intent of Intimate Partner Violence During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic increased Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) internationally and disrupted health services. The pandemic also exacerbated risk factors linked to IPV, such as deteriorating mental health. As access to health care became restricted, IPV survivors faced barriers to help-seeking. No study has examined the factors related to IPV help-seeking intent during the pandemic, which might differ from actual behavior. The aim is to examine t…

Armed conflict effects in intimate partner violence
We explored women's narratives about their experiences as victim-survivors of multiple forms of armed conflict violence and intimate partner violence (IPV) in Colombia and examined pathways that clarify the relationships between these two types of violence. Thematic analysis of 47 interviews identified connections that explain how armed conflict influences IPV at all levels of the socio-ecology. At the societal level, armed conflict events amplif…
Armed conflict exposure and mental health
Armed conflict exposure is associated with multiple mental health problems. However, more needs to be known about the differential effects of particular modalities of armed conflict violence and war methods on mental health. This study a) examined the modalities of violence employed in the Colombian armed conflict and b) assessed their association with mental health problems in armed conflict survivors. Using armed conflict data from the Colombia…
Teen Dating Violence Help-Seeking Intentions and Behaviors Among Ethnically and Racially Diverse Youth
Teen dating violence (TDV) affects millions of youth in the United States and globally each year. A systematic review was conducted to examine the help-seeking intentions and behaviors of youth between the ages of 12 and 19 based on racial and ethnic differences. Considering the high prevalence of TDV among racially and ethnically diverse youth, previous systematic reviews have recommended that future scholarship address help-seeking intentions a…
Exploring Help-Seeking Predictors Among Colombian Victims of Intimate Partner Violence in Different Age Groups
This study examined the extent, source, and individual, microsystem, exosystem, and macrosystem-level (Heise's Ecological Model) predictors of help-seeking behaviors among women of different age groups in Colombia. Data on 12,915 married or cohabitating women who had experienced diverse forms of intimate partner violence (IPV) were obtained from the Colombia Demographic Health Survey 2015. More than half of the Colombian women who reported some f…
Deconstructing bias
Worldwide, there has been a push toward reforming or abolishing child welfare systems because of systemic bias against families. Few studies have examined the role of bias in decision-making processes among child welfare practitioners, especially in child welfare systems in processes of change/reform. This qualitative study utilized discussion groups with child welfare teams to examine how professionals navigated the decision-making process in ca…
Brief Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration Screening Tools
Recent research findings indicate that patients are willing to disclose their use of violence to health-care providers if asked. Health-care providers have a unique opportunity to screen their patients for intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration; however, given the time constraints and limited personnel within medical offices and emergency-care facilities, instrument brevity is critically important. The development and evaluation of tools to…
Experiences With Help Seeking Among Non–Service-Engaged Survivors of IPV
Engaging with formal intimate partner violence (IPV) services can buffer the impacts of violence and reduce future risk. Many survivors do not access or engage with such services. However, much of our knowledge related to the experiences and perspectives of IPV survivors comes from samples drawn from those seeking formal services. Qualitative interviews with 23 survivors of violence who are not currently engaged with formal IPV services were cond…
