    Abstract:
    AIMS: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of intimate partner violence among Chinese immigrant women residing in the USA. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study using the online survey approach. METHODS: A total of 475 Chinese immigrant women were recruited online between April-June 2019. We measured past year intimate partner violence, sociodemographic, relationship-related and immigration-related factors, religion, social support, acculturation, adverse childhood experiences, and gender role beliefs. RESULTS: Twenty-one percent of Chinese immigrant women experienced past year intimate partner violence. Younger age, cohabiting relationship, lower levels of relationship satisfaction and social support, older age at arrival, longer length of stay, religious belief, and adverse childhood experiences were associated with the occurrence of intimate partner violence. CONCLUSION: Chinese immigrant women experience higher rates of intimate partner violence compared with other populations of women. Future research is still needed to elucidate abused Chinese immigrant women's violence experiences, help-seeking behaviours, availability of resources and needs for services to tailor prevention and intervention programs culturally. IMPACT: The findings added to our understanding of intimate partner violence among this largest Asian immigrant group. Modifiable risk factors such as social support should be targeted in future preventions and interventions for abused Chinese immigrant women residing in the USA. 目的: 调查居住在美国的中国移民女性中亲密伴侣暴力的患病率及危险因素。 设计: 采用在线调查方法的横断面研究。 方法: 2019年4月至6月总共招募475名中国移民女性。 我们评估了过去一年亲密伴侣暴力、社会人口统计、与关系和移民有关的因素、宗教、社会支持、文化适应、不良童年经历以及性别角色信念。 结果: 过去一年，有21％的中国移民女性经历过亲密伴侣暴力行为。与亲密伴侣暴力有关的因素包括年纪较小、同居关系、较低的关系满意度和社会支持、来美时年龄较大、停留时间较长、宗教信仰以及不良童年经历。 结论: 与其他女性群体相比，中国移民女性遭受亲密伴侣暴力的比率更高。仍需要进行进一步的研究，以阐明受虐待的中国移民女性的暴力经历、求助行为、资源可用性以及服务需求，以从文化上定制预防和干预方案。 影响: 研究结果增强了我们对这个最大的亚洲移民群体中亲密伴侣暴力的理解。在将来针对居住在美国的受虐待中国移民女性的预防和干预措施中，应针对可改变的风险因素，如社会支持。.
