One frequently hidden or \u201cinvisible\u201d form of abuse perpetrated within intimate partner relationships is economic abuse, also referred to as financial abuse in much of the literature. While the links between gendered economic insecurity and economic abuse are emerging, there remains a lack of consistency about definitions within the United States and globally, as there is no agreed upon index with which to measure economic abuse. As such, the purpose of this article is to review and analyze the global literature focused on either economic or financial abuse to determine how it is defined and what measures are used to capture its prevalence and impact. The 46 peer-reviewed articles that met all inclusion criteria for analysis came from a range of countries across six continents. Our review found that there is growing clarity and consistency of terminologies being used in these articles and found some consistency in the use of validated measures. Since this research is in its \u201cinfancy,\u201d we need to have stronger collaborative efforts to use similar measures and terminology. Part of that collaborative effort is to consider how language and cultural differences may play a part in our understanding of economic abuse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1524838018764160","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]],"date-time":"2018-03-27T23:49:19Z","timestamp":1522194559000},"page":"261-283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":242,"title":["Economic Abuse as an Invisible Form of Domestic Violence: A Multicountry Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Judy L.","family":"Postmus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center on Violence Against Women and Children, School of Social Work, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gretchen L.","family":"Hoge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Work, Lewis University, Romeoville, IL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Breckenridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Sciences, UNSW, Sydney, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nicola","family":"Sharp-Jeffs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit, London Metropolitan University, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Donna","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Occupational Therapy and Social Work, Curtin University, Perth, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/0886-6708.VV-D-13-00133"},{"key":"bibr2-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077801208315529"},{"key":"bibr3-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17441692.2014.917195"},{"key":"bibr4-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/852317"},{"key":"bibr5-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260513520507"},{"key":"bibr6-1524838018764160","volume-title":"A delicate balance: Domestic violence - The police reporting decisions of women aged over 40","author":"Bows H.","year":"2015"},{"key":"bibr7-1524838018764160","volume-title":"Seeking security: Promoting women\u2019s economic wellbeing following domestic violence (pp. 1\u2013131)","author":"Braaf R.","year":"2010"},{"key":"bibr8-1524838018764160","volume-title":"Staying home leaving violence evaluation: Final report (pp. 1\u2013149)","author":"Breckenridge J.","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr9-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0886260513505218"},{"key":"bibr10-1524838018764160","volume-title":"Economic security for survivors of domestic and family violence: Understanding and measuring the impact","author":"Corrie T.","year":"2016"},{"key":"bibr11-1524838018764160","volume-title":"Economic abuse: Searching for solutions","author":"Corrie T.","year":"2013"},{"key":"bibr12-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jadohealth.2015.08.001"},{"key":"bibr13-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7196\/ajhpe.222"},{"key":"bibr14-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(13)70074-3"},{"key":"bibr15-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12981-016-0098-7"},{"key":"bibr16-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/vivi.2003.18.2.181"},{"key":"bibr17-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10896-008-9162-y"},{"key":"bibr18-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-698X-13-46"},{"key":"bibr19-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0893-3200.13.4.642"},{"key":"bibr20-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019251300021004002"},{"key":"bibr21-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1007554229592"},{"key":"bibr22-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/0886-6708.16.3.269"},{"key":"bibr23-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.childyouth.2013.01.020"},{"key":"bibr24-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10896-015-9727-5"},{"key":"bibr25-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/351344"},{"key":"bibr26-1524838018764160","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(02)00012-6"},{"key":"bibr27-1524838018764160","first-page":"421","volume":"91","author":"Jewkes R.
