WELCOME
Intimate Partner Violence Study
As described in the Consent document, we invite medical and counselor professionals with a wealth of experience to participate in a qualitative research study plan featuring a case study approach. As a doctorate candidate at Abilene Christian University, I seek help from eight to ten professionals who have worked with Black urban women in intimate partner violence (IPV) relationships for at least five years. Your expertise is crucial to this study. All participants will reside in one mid-western state, including Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, or Wisconsin.
Eckstein (2019) and Mushonga et al. (2020) explained how some black IPV urban women face racially motivated poverty and gender violence that negatively impact their community standing, which has shown us that this targeted group of women encounters racially motivated poverty. More significantly, inaccurate perceptions and beliefs of Black IPV females in urban areas deprive their communities of valuable leadership resources and gifts that many women could offer (Eckstein, 2019). The limited studies on urban Black women in IPV relationships do not delineate the factors that produce a profile of the women who overcome their challenges into leadership roles in their homes or communities.
This study seeks to investigate Brosi et al.’s described internal, interpersonal, or external strategies that mental health professionals or counselors uncover that Black IPV women implement based on the women’s cultural mores and beliefs or values that generate social and economic barriers. (St. Vil et al., 2017; Sears, 2021). The obstacles give rise to characteristics influencing the women’s decision-making when involved in IPV relationships. Your participation in this study could potentially lead to significant insights and solutions.
This group of women represents a vulnerable sector of our society. I want to depend on you to give a voice to the women who can not speak for themselves. Your role in this study is crucial, and your commitment is greatly appreciated. If this study speaks to you, just download and complete the Consent Form and return it to Dawn Benton at dxb20b@acu.edu to participate!
