Therefore, these data are not comparable in terms of methodologies, but they do illustrate that, at each of these levels, rates are fairly similar. 1. These data are from the first population-level study of intimate partner violence in Chile. The figures presented here specifically cover Santiago (see Larraín 1994). 2. These data are from a population-level study conducted by SERNAM in 2001 in Santiago (see SERNAM 2002). 3. These figures specifically cover the Araucania Region, which is a more rural region of Chile, and are drawn from the same population-level study conducted by SERNAM in 2001, cited above (see SERNAM 2002). 4. These data derive from a Family Care study of their client population (personal communication 2003). 5. These data emerged from a Safe Space study of their client population (personal communication 2003). 174 Traumatic States Table 2. Data on Key Populations 1.
