The Impact of Neighborhood Factors on the Well-Being of Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence Over Time

  • Original Paper
  • Published:
American Journal of Community Psychology

Abstract

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive social problem impacting the psychological well-being of millions of US women annually. The extant literature draws our attention to the devastating mental health effects of IPV, but largely overlooks how ecological factors may further explain survivors’ well-being. This study examined how neighborhood disadvantage may contribute to survivors’ compromised well-being, in addition to the abuse women experienced. Neighborhood disorder and fear of victimization significantly impacted survivors’ well-being, over and above abuse. Although between-women effects of neighborhood disorder and fear were unrelated to change in women’s depression or quality of life (QOL), significant within-woman effects were detected. Change in neighborhood disorder was negatively associated with change in QOL, and this relationship was fully mediated by fear. While no direct relationship between change in neighborhood disorder and depression was detected, an indirect effect through survivors’ fear was revealed. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
