    Study Notes

    Epidemiology of Intimate Partner Violence

    • Violence against women, including intimate partner violence (IPV), is a significant public health issue
    • Research on IPV prevalence and effects has increased in the last 20 years, but research on health effects of different forms of IPV is less developed.
    • IPV can cause physical, sexual, reproductive, and mental health problems.
    • IPV impacts health in direct ways (injuries) and indirect ways (stress/reduced access to resources/healthcare).
    • Sustained stress from IPV is linked to cardiovascular issues, hypertension, gastrointestinal problems, chronic pain, and diabetes.
    • Women may use drugs/alcohol to cope with IPV stress.
    • IPV is defined as physical, sexual, emotional, or economic abuse, including controlling behavior, by an intimate partner (includes same-sex partners).

    Global Prevalence of IPV

    • Global lifetime prevalence of physical, sexual, or both, IPV against ever-partnered women is 30.0% (95% Confidence Interval: 27.8% - 32.2%).
    • Prevalence is highest in Southeast Asian, Eastern Mediterranean, and African regions (approximately 37% of ever-partnered women reported experience).
    • Prevalence is lower in the Americas (around 30%) and other regions (around 25%).

    IPV by Age

    • IPV prevalence varies slightly by age, but young women experience similar rates as older women.

    IPV During Pregnancy

    • Studies show IPV during pregnancy rates range from 1% to 28%.
    • Highest rates were found in Latin America and Africa. Lower rates in Europe and Asia .
    • Physical IPV during pregnancy often involves physical assault to the abdomen (e.g., punching or kicking).

    Intimate Partner Homicide

    • Global median percentage of intimate partner homicide is above 13% for female victims; above 38% for female homicides perpetrated by an intimate partner.
    • Median for male homicide is about 6%.
    • High-income countries have a higher number of studies on intimate partner homicide.
    • Prevalence rates are higher in Southeast Asia, high-income countries, and Africa for female partner homicide

    Risk and Protective Factors of IPV

    • Risk Factors:

    • Unfavorable gender attitudes (support for wife beating).

    • Young age of the couple.

    • Short relationship duration.

    • High levels of stress.

    • Relationship dissatisfaction.

    • Alcohol use by male partner.

    • Childhood experiences of abuse (in both partners).

    • Lower levels of education.

    • Unemployment.

    • Social isolation / urban setting
