Abstract:
Immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) face particular risks and have unique strengths; IPV risk assessments must account for diverse lived experiences. This validation study of the Danger Assessment for Immigrant (DA-I) women assessed risk factors and experiences of IPV across four timepoints among immigrant IPV survivors from diverse world regions (n = 122). The Receiver Operating Characteristic Area Under the Curve assessed the predictive validity of the DA-I, which ranged from .794 to .892 in the full sample and .652-.943 in regional subsamples. Used appropriately, the DA-I offers survivors an opportunity to make knowledgeable and empowered decisions regarding their safety.
