520 _aIntimate partner violence is a significant public health issue in Aotearoa. A particular sub-group over-represented as victims & offenders of violent crimes is Pacific people. Recent studies indicate that both Pacific men and women perpetrate violence towards each other. This study aimed to investigate ways of improving violence support services for Pacific peoples to help address this issue. Indepth interviews were carried out with 5 violence support agencies based in Wellington. Approximately 5-11% of their clients were Pacific peoples. The interviews were recorded digitally and transcribed. The data was coded and analysed using NVivo qualitative software to generate common themes and issues. Three over-arching themes were identified: service provider factors, service user factors, and systemic factors. This study provides a snapshot of the factors involved at the service provider, service user and systemic levels. It highlights the additional challenges faced by an understudied, yet growing population of Pacific peoples affected by intimate partner violence. From the abstract.
