Overcoming Barriers to Knowledge Production in Transgender IPV Research
Overcoming Barriers to Knowledge Production in Transgender IPV Research
The quality of research methodology is unquestionably at the heart of the accuracy and utility of empirical data on transgender intimate partner violence (T-IPV). Unfortunately, T-IPV scholars must contend with a host of unique methodological challenges, including defining the population, nonprobability and probability sampling with transgender populations, IPV measure diagnostic testing on transgender samples, and inclusivity of distinct T-IPV tactics in IPV survey measures. Unlike with the more extensive and established cisgender IPV literature, the smaller and newer T-IPV literature lacks widespread agreement among scholars on the best practices needed to overcome these methodological challenges. This chapter provides an overview of these issues and, by drawing on innovative solutions from the T-IPV and broader lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer IPV literature, offers tips on overcoming these methodological challenges going forward.
