Purpose <p>There has been limited research pertaining to the role of intimate partner violence (IPV) affecting contraceptive practice among Arab Americans. IPV contributes to the larger problem of unwanted pregnancies, reproductive coercion, and other aspects of reproductive health. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand perceptions in contraceptive practice among Arab American victims of IPV and how those perceptions influenced their reproductive health decisions.</p> Methods <p>In-depth interviews (<i>N</i> = 10) were conducted as the primary source of data collection. Purposive sampling was used. Thematic analysis was used to identify major themes. Familiarization of the data was conducted through transcribing and hand coding. Major themes were finalized using NVivo software.</p> Results <p>Findings suggest that cultural beliefs and societal expectations were the biggest indicators in influencing negative perceptions and poor contraceptive use among Arab American women of IPV.</p> Conclusions <p>Major implications include raising awareness among health professionals in understanding Arab Americans and providing culturally tailored interventions that meet their reproductive health needs.</p>
