Intimate Partner Violence among Asian Americans: Risk Factor Differences across Ethnic Subgroups

Abstract  

A limited number of studies have been conducted on intimate partner violence (IPV) among Asian Americans. This study aims
to fill this gap by examining risk factors for IPV and ethnic differences within Asian American subgroups. Logistic regression
analyses were conducted, using data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS). This study found that while
prevalence rates of IPV varied across ethnic groups, the differences disappeared when controlling for demographic, interpersonal,
and sociocultural variables. The study findings also showed that risk for IPV was higher for US-born Asian Americans, and
that perceived discrimination increased the risk.
