Child Protective Services Involvement Among Black Women in Community Supervision Experiencing Intimate Partner Violence.

This study examines associations between male- and female-perpetrated psychological, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence and child protective services involvement among Black women under community supervision in New York City (N = 247). Up to 72.1% of women experienced lifetime intimate partner violence (IPV) and 55.9% child protective services (CPS) involvement as parents. Women had significantly higher odds of CPS involvement if they experienced sexual IPV by male partners, multiple forms of IPV by male partners, or multiple forms of IPV by any partner (ORs: 1.8; 95% CIs: 1.1, 3.0; p < .05). Adjusted models lacked significance, suggesting further research and service needs.
