Notes:	This study examines the relationship between Aboriginal status and violence against women in Canada. The propositions and hypothesis identify a number of risk markers as defining factors for male partner violence including, low education, youth, living in rural areas, colonisation, alcoholism and unemployment. Telephone interviews with 7,396 heterosexual women -- 143 of whom were Aboriginal -- living in married or common-law relationships at the time of the survey revealed that these risk markers have significant impact on violence against them. It was also found that Aboriginal women experience a higher prevalence of overall violence and are more likely to report every form of partner violence than their non-Aboriginal counterparts.
