Sexual and intimate partner violence (SIV) continues to be a public health crisis, particularly among girls and women. Traditional and critical qualitative methodologies are often used to study SIV. This paper offers another methodology not traditionally used in family science, testimonio, as a critical, qualitative option. Testimonio is a methodology rooted in Indigenous, Latinx, and Chicano/a feminista studies, deployed in various fields, that centers the stories of marginalized members of society as they are rooted in systemic inequalities, including racism, (cis)sexism, and heteronormativity. A scoping review of the use of testimonio in family science and violence research was conducted and yielded minimal research. Given the dearth of research found through the review, recommendations for using testimonio in family science SIV research are offered along with examples from the authors' research.

证言作为研究性暴力和亲密伴侣暴力的方法

性暴力和亲密伴侣暴力（SIV）仍然是一场公共卫生危机，尤其是对女孩和妇女而言。传统和关键的定性方法通常用于研究 SIV。本文提供了另一种传统上不用于家庭科学的方法，见证，作为关键的定性选项。见证是一种植根于土著、拉丁裔和奇卡诺人的方法论/a女权主义者涉及各个领域的研究以社会边缘化成员的故事为中心，因为他们植根于系统性不平等，包括种族主义、（顺式）性别歧视和异性恋正统主义。使用范围审查见证在家庭科学和暴力方面进行了研究，但取得的成果很少。鉴于缺乏通过审查发现的研究，建议使用见证家庭科学中的 SIV 研究与作者的研究实例一起提供。
