Various methods of ascertaining self reported exposure to intimate partner vilence (IPV) in health care and research settings have been evaluated to identify women who interpret themselves as abused for clinical and research intervention. However, few interpretive frameworks have been proposed to explain factors that may influence the success of this ascertainment process, including the contribution of language in facilitating women's interpretations of situations as abusive across social, cultural and historical contexts. This omission is substantial, given that IPV is context pecific, involving interaction between individuals of diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and their sociocultural environment. In the first part of this paper, we otulin hermeneutics, one interpretive theoretical tradition to describe approaches to interpreting IPV. Hermeneutics is a linguistic philosophy that focuses on questions of how people understand spoken language, written text, and themselves through language across sociocultural environments. Hermeneutics acknowledges conditions and situations that facilitate opportunities for broad shared understanding and vocabularies about violence between communities, professionals and abused women, which in turn may reduce harm to women and negotiate action women may want to take in response to situations they interpret as abusive. In the second and third parts of the paper, we compare and contrast the strengths and outline a multi dimensional IPV ascertainment tool that incorporates the three asking approaches to facilitate professionals bringing broad definitions of and vocabularies about abuse to encoutners with women. This paper provides health care researchers, clinicians, and policy makers with a framework for understanding the potential influence of language of women's interpretations of IPV, incuding the role of community and professional conversational silence, coercion and equality in influencing women's interpretations. We look at the influence of language about intimate partner violence in the united states on women's intepretations of abuse, although the basic constructs presented have could be applied in other countries and settings.
