  • Title: Won't you be my neighbor? Using an ecological approach to examine the impact of community on revictimization.
    Author: Obasaju MA, Palin FL, Jacobs C, Anderson P, Kaslow NJ.
    Journal: J Interpers Violence; 2009 Jan; 24(1):38-53. PubMed ID: 18319364.
    Abstract:
    An ecological model is used to explore the moderating effects of community-level variables on the relation between childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse and adult intimate partner violence (IPV) within a sample of 98 African American women from low incomes. Results from hierarchical, binary logistics regressions analyses show that community-level variables (perceived neighborhood disorder and community cohesion) moderated the relation between childhood emotional abuse and adult physical IPV. Findings support the use of an ecological approach in examining the phenomena of revictimization. Clinical implications from a community and ecological perspective are discussed.
