dc.description.abstract Although plenty of research is conducted to explore the causes of intimate partner violence (IPV), findings are inadequate about the community members' perceptions on IPV. This qualitative study was conducted in a health administrative area of Sri Lanka to explore IPV as perceived by community members in terms of what is IPV, what causes IPV, and what are the responses to prevent IPV. Five focus group discussions and 11 in-depth interviews were conducted with 34 women and eight men. Data were thematically analyzed, and a model on community perception of IPV was developed. It incorporated the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels of the existing ecological framework on causes of interpersonal violence. Perceived apparent and underlying determinants were operating directly and indirectly with complex interactions for the occurrence and continuation of IPV. Pathways of preventing or responding to IPV were identified. Findings on determinants can be incorporated into IPV interventions. en_US
