Intimate partner violence: systematic review of literature focused on the cultures of Hawai'i.

Although research on intimate partner violence (IPV) categorizes populations broadly; there is great diversity within the broad categories of Asian and Pacific Islanders. This paper reviewed the literature published between 1996 and 2005 focused on the intersection of IPV and culture within specific cultures in the State of Hawai'i. The current research literature related to IPV against women and these specific populations is summarized.
