One in three mothers experience partner abuse before their child turns ten PLOSONE
. Physical IPV was defined as a score of ≥1 for physical abuse items and emotional IPV as a score of ≥3 for emotional abuse items. Women were defined as experiencing IPV if they scored positive for physical and/or emotional IPV.At 10-year follow-up, women were asked “How many times have you consulted a local doctor or GP in the last 12 months for issues related to your own health?”, with response options “never, once, twice, three times, four times, five to six times, seven or more times”.
Univariable logistic regression was used to examine social characteristics of women experiencing mental health symptoms and IPV. Data are presented as unadjusted Odds Ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Next, we estimated the prevalence and odds of recent IPV in those with and without mental health symptoms at 10-year follow-up. Data on number of visits with general practitioners in the previous 12 months are presented as frequencies with 95% confidence intervals.
