dc.description.notes"CRC 13/06–07"<br/ >General Overview: In this article, researchers from the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research and the Institute for Health and Social Science Research present findings from a study of the prevalence of intimate partner abuse against women in mining communities in the Bowen Basin region of Central Queensland.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The authors provide a brief summary of the findings of the research, which was precipitated by concerns that women living in mining communities may be at greater risk of domestic violence than women in the general community. These concerns were based on the fact that the risk of intimate partner abuse against women is known to be higher where patriarchal attitudes and drug and alcohol abuse are prevalent, and perceptions that these conditions are dominant in Australian mining cultures.<br/ ><br/ >The research comprised logistic regression analysis of structured interviews conducted by telephone with 537 women in married or defacto heterosexual relationships in the Bowen Basin region of Central Queensland. Questions covered women’s experiences of physical, socio-psychological and sexual abuse, as well as well as socio-demographic, relationship, behavioural and health characteristics.<br/ ><br/ >Statistically significant correlations between reported abuse and the related characteristics listed above were examined. The findings suggest there is no demonstrable relationship between mining cultures and intimate partner violence against women. However, given concerning findings regarding the help-seeking behaviours of women who reported abuse, the authors recommend that consideration be given to the way that specialist services are promoted and highlights the need for mainstream service providers to have the knowledge and skills necessary to the conduct appropriate screening within mining communities for intimate partner violence against women.en
