In: Pimatisiwin: A Journal of Aboriginal and Indigenous Community Health, 2010, 8(2): 9-33Summary: Existing sources produce widely varying estimates of family violence in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities [in Canada]; taken together, they imply a convincing if poorly quantified higher risk of family violence in Aboriginal communities, with the greater burden borne by women. With the accelerating HIV epidemic in some Aboriginal communities, prevention of domestic violence takes on even greater urgency. Five planks in a prevention research platform include: training emerging researchers from all Aboriginal groups to promote culturally specific research; systematic review of unpublished and published knowledge of interventions that reduce domestic violence; intervention theory development specific to each community; attention to the particular ethical issues; and methods development focused on interventions.
