ABSTRACT Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex and pervasive public health problem disproportionately affecting American Indian (AI) and Black women, who ordinarily do not seek help, but who experience the worst health outcomes including homicide. Help-seeking for AI and Black women following IPV has become even more complicated in recent years with rising levels of violence resulting in lethal outcomes. No systematic studies exist that track both AI and Black women’s experiences of IPV. To address this urgent gap, we propose a community-based participatory research (CBPR) study informed by Indigenous and Black feminist thought, that will employ qualitative and quantitative methods, enabling us to systematically describe the unique and intersecting structural, economic, and interpersonal facilitators and barriers to help-seeking for IPV among AI and Black women in urban and rural areas of Wisconsin. We will conduct surveys and individual and focus group interviews with 300 AI and Black women to track women’s experiences, patterns of help-seeking, and barriers to help-seeking. Women will be recruited from community- based partner agencies across the state as well as at other sites where our partners ordinarily inform women about their services, in order to capture women seeking help as well as women who have not sought help. Our ultimate goal through this study is to create a platform where women’s voices can then inform health practice while also drawing from a community advisory board constituted of advocates and other key members of AI and Black communities in Wisconsin to address the urgent problem of IPV in the lives of AI and Black women. Our proposed CBPR study is in line with the mission and goals of the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities because it focuses on two populations that are disproportionately impacted by IPV. Additionally, this CBPR study engages grassroots, community-based agencies with academic partners in scholarship that is grounded in women’s realities, is participatory in nature, and is built upon the capacities and the resilience of community members.
