Notes:	Clark and Walker raise a critical issue worthy of a researcher’s attention and thought: The ethics researchers employ when conducting intimate partner violence studies (IPV research). The authors suggest IPV researchers must think beyond the regulations of the Common Rule and Belmont Report (Code of Federal Regulations, 1991; National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research [National Commission], 1979). I applaud their efforts and appreciate their invitation for others to expand on their concerns. In that regard, I offer an alternative to their consideration of IPV victims as a further enumerated protected class: to consider female victims of IPV who can partner with researchers to assist with managing the ethical dilemmas. Although males also experience IPV at national estimates of 7% (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000), this commentary addresses female victims for three primary reasons: Clark and Walker discuss female victims specifically; female IPV victims experience violence at the hands of intimates at a rate of almost 3 to 1 compared with males (Tjaden & Thoennes, 2000); and last, given the lack of attention to females in research historically, this examination is timely.
