The current study examines country-specific risk factors of intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization among Guatemalan and Honduran women. More specifically, we examine if (in)equality between partners, experience of controlling or emotionally abusive behavior, and components of the intergenerational transmission of violence significantly affect the risk of lifetime IPV victimization for Guatemalan (N = 5,645) and Honduran women (N = 9,427). We address this by analyzing both the 2014 to 2015 Guatemala Demographic and Health Survey and the 2011 to 2012 Honduras Demographic and Health Survey. Results suggest that equality between partners operates differently across the two nations, which is likely related to social norms in each country. In particular, having more decisional input is a protective factor against IPV victimization for Guatemalan women. Increased educational attainment, however, is a risk factor for IPV victimization among Honduran women. Implications, especially as they pertain to social service agencies and programming, are discussed.

目前的研究调查了危地马拉和洪都拉斯妇女遭受亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）侵害的特定国家风险因素。更具体地说，我们研究了危地马拉 ( N = 5,645) 和洪都拉斯妇女 ( N = 9,427）。我们通过分析 2014 年至 2015 年危地马拉人口和健康调查以及 2011 年至 2012 年洪都拉斯人口和健康调查来解决这个问题。结果表明，伴侣之间的平等在两国之间表现不同，这可能与每个国家的社会规范有关。特别是，拥有更多的决策投入是危地马拉妇女免受 IPV 侵害的一个保护因素。然而，教育程度的提高是洪都拉斯妇女遭受 IPV 侵害的一个风险因素。讨论了其影响，特别是与社会服务机构和规划有关的影响。
