Description
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is abuse or aggression within a romantic relationship. To prevent severe consequences, assessment is needed to understand IPV in its entirety prior to putting an intervention into place. English speakers in the United States have numerous instruments available, but there is a much more limited selection for Spanish speakers (Hendershot et al. under review). Herein, this research aims to discuss the best practices and importance for assessment in IPV while highlighting our ongoing efforts in IPV assessment through creating a measure. This initiative is crucial as it broadens the scope of IPV research and intervention strategies, ensuring inclusivity and effectiveness across diverse linguistic groups. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance understanding and support for IPV victims by providing equitable assessment resources, a step toward more comprehensive and culturally sensitive IPV interventions.
