In the Caribbean, IPV is especially pervasive. This scoping review systematically examined descriptive studies, surveys, secondary data analyses, and mixed-methods studies or interventions conducted between 2000-and 2022 that address IPV or GBV among English-speaking adult Caribbean populations within both the region and in diaspora communities. Studies among non-English-speaking adult Caribbean populations, involving children or referencing childhood sexual abuse, articles not written or published in English, and those with a clear lack of IPV or GBV relevance were excluded. Forty (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200940) articles met our inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Thematic analysis revealed three major domains: prevalence and risk factors (52.5%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200921), cultural attitudes and perceptions (32.5%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200913), and service engagement factors (15.0%,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20096). Studies documented IPV prevalence rates ranging from 15% to 48%, with patriarchal cultural norms, childhood violence exposure, and economic stressors as key contributing factors. Research revealed significant geographic imbalances, with 42.5% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200917) of studies focusing on diaspora populations rather than Caribbean residents. Women comprised 87.5% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200935) of study participants, while men were included in only 32.5% (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200913) of studies. Despite growing recognition of the IPV\/GBV burden, research in this region remains limited in scope, scale, and methodological rigor. This review underscores an urgent need for rigorous, culturally tailored research to inform policy and improve IPV prevention and intervention strategies. Addressing these gaps can enhance evidence-based practices and health outcomes across the Caribbean.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15248380251388136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]],"date-time":"2026-02-24T07:19:12Z","timestamp":1771917552000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intimate Partner Violence Studies in the English-Speaking Caribbean and Diaspora: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3456-2322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dawn","family":"Goddard-Eckrich","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5588-5342","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabrielle Jamela","family":"Hosein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Institute for Gender and Development Studies, The University of the West Indies, St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1336-4674","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vineha","family":"Ramesh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6731-3998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ohshue S.","family":"Gatanaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"},{"name":"Department of Health Systems and Population Health, University of Washington School of Public Health, Seattle, WA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8271-1604","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karene-Anne","family":"Nathaniel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of the West Indies, The Department of Behavioural Sciences, St. Augustine, Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4858-3704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maegan","family":"Ramchal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Devany","family":"Howard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2715-8310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louisa","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sherna","family":"Alexander Benjamin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Boston College School of Social Work, Chestnut Hill, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kacey-Ann S.","family":"Cockett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1475-2003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Brittany V.","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, School of Social Work, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gail-Ann","family":"Guy-Cupid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of the Virgin Island, College of Liberal Arts &amp; the Social Sciences, St. Croix, USVI, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tricia","family":"Basdeo-Gobin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Caribbean Male Action Network (CariMAN), St. Joseph, Trinidad and Tobago"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4258-2275","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ariel","family":"Richer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Utah, School of Social Work, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alexander K.
