Gilbert, L., El-Bassel, N., Schilling, R.F., & Friedman, E. (1997).
Childhood Abuse as a Risk for Partner Abuse among Women in Methadone
Maintenance. American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, 23(4), 581-595.
Language: English
This article examined the relationship between childhood abuse and partner
abuse among a sample of predominantly African-American and Hispanic women
who are patients in methadone clinics in Harlem and the South Bronx. Women
who reported childhood sexual abuse were almost 9 times more likely to
report having been abused by a spouse or boyfriend. Women who reported
childhood abuse were almost 4 times more likely to report having been
abused by a spouse or boyfriend. Depression and need for social support
were significantly associated with partner abuse, while current heroin
use was inversely associated with partner abuse.
Gondolf, E.W., Fisher, E. & McFerron, J.R. (1988). Racial Differences
among Shelter Residents: A Comparison of Anglo, Black, and Hispanic Battered.
Journal of Family Violence, 3(1), 39-51.
Language: English
The implications of racial differences for shelter services has become
an increasing concern with the expansion and development of shelters for
battered women. This study employs bi-variate cross-tabulation and discriminant
analysis of shelter intake and exit interviews to determine the most influential
variables in differentiating Anglo, Black and Hispanic women. The groups
appear to be differentiated most by income and marital related variables,
and very little by abuse and help-seeking variables. The findings suggest
that the greatest differences overall are between Anglo and Hispanic women,
and that additional economic and educational supports need to be directed
to the Hispanic group.
