“…It also contributes to existing discourse on the problematization of culture, by highlighting the important roles of community groups and faith-based organisations in health promotion, health education, research, and intervention [ 58 ]. Specifically, findings from this research support previous evidence advocating for collaborative working with ethnic minority community groups and faith-based organisations, in order to enhance positive health behaviour, reduce health inequality and facilitate the utilisation of existing services among ethnic minority populations [ 58 , 96 , 97 , 100 , 122 ].…”

BackgroundIntimate partner violence and abuse is a public health problem affecting more than one third of all women globally. It usually takes place between individuals in intimate relationships and/or within the family. In the United Kingdom (UK), while theoretical and policy interventions have led to an increase in intimate partner violence and abuse service provision for women, there is paucity of research on the disclosure and help-seeking practices of women from ethnic minority populations.MethodsA cross-sectional qualitative research design was utilised. This included individual, in-depth semi-structured interviews with Nigerian women (n = 16) resident in England with lived experience of intimate partner violence and abuse. The interviews were conducted between May 2012 and May 2013, and data were analysed using thematic analysis technique.ResultsThree main themes were identified as factors influencing the disclosure and help-seeking practices of Nigerian (ethnic minority population) women in England, UK. These are socialisation from country of birth, immigration status, and acculturation in the country of immigration.ConclusionsNigerian (ethnic minority populations) women resident in England with lived experience of abuse are likely to seek help from leaders and members of their ethnic community groups and faith-based organisations. There is need for collaborative working with ethnic community groups and faith-based organisations to enhance access and facilitate the utilisation of existing intimate partner violence services.

“…In addition, they can serve a very critical role in promoting IPV awareness among Korean immigrant communities. However, according to Choi (2015), most of the church leaders (92.7%) in her study said they often counseled Korean immigrant women about IPV, but only 16% of them considered themselves ready to counsel effectively to help their church members in matters regarding IPV. Thus, through victim-service community organizations’ collaborative relationship with Korean religious groups and leaders, religious leaders can become educated on how to counsel IPV victims and provide resources to help them, such as shelters.…”

Religion, Religious Heterogeneity, and Intimate Partner Violence Among Korean Immigrant Women

This study examined the role of religious affiliations and frequency of religious service attendance-such as church, Bible studies, and temples-as well as religious heterogeneity between couples on intimate partner violence (IPV) among Korean immigrant women in the United States. Through a case-control design, this study compared 64 Korean immigrant IPV victims with 63 Korean immigrant non-IPV victims. This study's findings reveal that for Korean immigrant women, a high frequency of religious service attendance was associated with higher IPV victimization, while their partners' high religious service attendance was associated with lower IPV victimization. When women's partners were religious compared with when they were not religious, they were less likely to perpetrate IPV even when the partners' alcohol consumption frequency increased. Also, when there was a gap between couples regarding frequency of religious attendance, IPV victimization increased. This discussion concludes by suggesting some policy implications based on these findings.

“…Participation rates were reported in only a few studies. For church-based recruitment only studies, the recruitment response rate (Total returned questionnaires / Total distributed questionnaires) ranged from 40% to 50% in cross-sectional studies (Y. Choi, 2015; M.…”

“…In the initiation stage, researchers identified potential churches and started contacting personnel. The most frequently mentioned strategy (n = 10) was contacting church officers from publicly available contact information in Korean business directories, ethnic newspapers, or phone books provided by regional Korean American Associations (Bastani et al, 2015;Y. Choi, 2015;Jang & Chiriboga, 2010;Juon et al, 2003;Juon, Choi, Klassen, & Roter, 2006; M. T. W.…”

“…Choi, Miller, & Wilbur, 2009;Juon et al, 2003), the authors described the importance of building a relationship with a lay church leader at the initial stage, because lay church leaders could link pastors and researchers during much of the recruitment process. A response rate from contacting churches was provided in two studies (Bastani et al, 2015;Juon et al, 2003). In one study, the researchers initially contacted all 645 churches in Los Angeles County, and 69% expressed interest in the study (Bastani et al, 2015).…”

Church-Based Recruitment to Reach Korean Immigrants: An Integrative Review

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although the Korean church has been frequently used to recruit Korean immigrants in research, little is known about the specific strategies and process. The purpose of this integrative review was to describe recruitment strategies in studies of Korean immigrants and to identify the process of Korean church-based recruitment. Thirty-three studies met inclusion criteria. Four stages of church-based recruitment were identified: initiation, endorsement, advertisement, and implementation. This review identified aspects of the church-based recruitment process in Korean immigrants, which are different from the Black and Hispanic literature, due to their hierarchical culture and language barriers. Getting permission from pastors and announcing the study by pastors at Sunday services were identified as the key components of the process. Using the church newsletter to advertise the study was the most effective strategy for the advertisement stage. Despite several limitations, church-based recruitment is a very feasible and effective way to recruit Korean immigrants.
