Abstract:

A survey instrument mirroring that used in the National Violence Against Women (NVAW) survey was used to examine the frequency, severity, and consequences of intimate partner violence against an availability sample of Athabaskan women (n = 91) residing in the interior of Alaska. Data about victimization experiences as well as cultural involvement, residential mobility, living arrangements, social cohesion, alcohol use, and post-traumatic stress syndrome were gathered in face-to-face interviews conducted in the region in 2003. Slightly less than two-thirds of respondents (63.7%) reported a violent victimization perpetrated by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime. Nearly one-out-of-five women surveyed (18%) reported that they had been physically assaulted by an intimate partner in the 12 months preceding the survey. Intimate partner assault victimization is more prevalent and is considerably more frequent for the respondents to our survey when compared to what has been reported for American women in general (as measured by the NVAW survey).
