Abstract

This article reports two sequential studies of intimate partner violence (IPV) in the Latino community. The first part described how data were collected from Latino men and women through focus groups to identify what their beliefs are about IPV, what triggers it, and what role the Mexican culture plays in the phenomenon. From these data, a children's book was developed to address alternative anger management strategies, the second part. Titled Hitting Is Bad, So Talk When You're Mad, the book was piloted with 33 children, asking what they did at present when they were mad, what they could do after they read the book, and the likelihood of their doing so.
