Indigenous communities of the Ngöbe and Buglé peoples in the Chiriquí province of Panamá, Central America, identified a growing problem with alcohol use and intimate partner violence (IPV). The researchers were invited to determine the extent of the problem. A descriptive correlational study adapting an interview-style survey from the 2005 World Health Organization "Multi-country study on women's health and domestic violence against women Summary report of initial results on prevalence, health outcomes and women's responses" was conducted to provide initial data that identified the extent, qualities and risk factors of IPV (1). Results illustrated a correlation between alcohol and intimate partner violence among the population; significant correlations between alcohol abuse, IPV, education level, number of pregnancies, and number of living children were identified. Increasing the awareness of this issue can affect future development of community-based interventions for this unique population.
