Despite recent efforts to increase the participation of women in advanced educational training and high-status professional fields and such male-dominated recreational activities as athletics, women and men are still concentrated in different educational programs, occupational fields, and recreational activities. Most important for this chapter, women are still underrepresented in many high-status occupational fields, particularly those associated with physical science, engineering, and applied mathematics (Eccles 1987; National Science Foundation, 1996; Vetter& Babco, 1996).

LA VIDA- the Southwest Detroit Partnership to Prevent Intimate Violence Against Latina Women- evolved in response to community concern about the problem of intimate partner violence (IPV) and the lack of culturally competent preventive and supportive services for Latino women and men in southwest Detroit. Since 1997, diverse organizations have mobilized as a community-academic partnership to ensure the availability, accessibility, and utilization of IPV services.
