From the Paper:
"Various resources and databases were selected to research this topic. These ranged from a thorough search of databases such as Ebscohost , including CINAHL and others, as well as online databases such as Questia and Highbeam. Web sites were also sourced, although attention was given to the validity of sites."A search of Ebscohost, using the central terms produced an initial thirty-nine resulted. However, the results were too general and had to be refined and expanded. The search was expanded to include a number of other sources, such as CINAHL, Eric and others, while the search terms were reduced to "latino" and "domestic violence". This produced five useful articles of which three were selected for inclusion on the basis of direct relevance to the topic. Date of publication was an added criterion, but content and relevance was given prevalence.
"A further search that increased the scope of the results produced ninety-eight articles, of which five were selected as being the most appropriate for this topic. An interesting aspect of this extensive search was that there were comparatively few articles that related directly to the topic, particularly with regard to immigrant farm workers. This would seem to suggest that there is a relative paucity of research studies directly related to the topic in question. Other sources which produced useful content was Questia as well as various verified Web sites."
