Prevalence and the Interrelationship of Different Types of Intimate Partner Violence Among Racial and Ethnic College Students in the United States and Canada

-test, as well as multivariate logistic regression, were conducted. The results revealed higher prevalence rates of specific types of intimate partner violence in Canada compared to the United States, with many college students reporting emotional abuse. The prevalence of intimate partner violence also differs between racial and ethnic groups; a higher proportion of intimate victimization was found among racialized groups. The study further showed a co-occurrence pattern of emotional, sexual, and physical intimate partner violence that was more prevalent among Indigenous college students in the United States and Multiracial college students in Canada. This research highlights the vulnerability of racial and ethnic groups to intimate victimization and recognizes the need for culturally appropriate intervention and prevention efforts that may assist students within a college setting.

Abstract

-test, as well as multivariate logistic regression, were conducted. The results revealed higher prevalence rates of specific types of intimate partner violence in Canada compared to the United States, with many college students reporting emotional abuse. The prevalence of intimate partner violence also differs between racial and ethnic groups; a higher proportion of intimate victimization was found among racialized groups. The study further showed a co-occurrence pattern of emotional, sexual, and physical intimate partner violence that was more prevalent among Indigenous college students in the United States and Multiracial college students in Canada. This research highlights the vulnerability of racial and ethnic groups to intimate victimization and recognizes the need for culturally appropriate intervention and prevention efforts that may assist students within a college setting.
