This research examines interpersonal violence from a national sample of adult Latino women.
Abstract
This article presents results from the Sexual Assault Among Latinas (SALAS) study, which obtained lifetime prevalence rates of interpersonal violence from a national sample of adult Latino women. Results show that more than half of the women in the study (53.6 percent) reported at least one victimization experience during their lifetime, with approximately two thirds of the victimized women (66.2 percent) experiencing more than one victimization incident, pointing to significant levels of polyvictimization and revictimization patterns across all victimization types. The results provide estimates of lifetime interpersonal violence and present a broader scope of the victimization experiences for this population.
