Learning Objectives:
  1. be able to identify the strengths and limitations of the Life History Calendar method
  2. be able to understand Asian women’s experiences of intimate partner violence and help-seeking efforts over the lifecourse and their variations
  3. be able to formulate socioculturally relevant health care outreach programs
Description:
Using the Life History Calendar method and multilevel modeling, we examined the lifecourse trajectories of Asian women’s experiences of intimate partner violence and help-seeking efforts. The substantial variations by cohort point to the importance of tailoring assistance programs to subgroups of women.
