The association between immigrant generational status child maltreatment history and intimate partner violence (IPV): evidence from a nationally representative survey

The objectives of this paper are to examine the associations between immigrant generational status (IGS), child maltreatment (CM), intimate partner violence (IPV) and acculturation (i.e., the extent to which an individual adopts the values, language and attitudes of a new culture).
