Identification of Abuse and Health Consequences for Military and Civilian Women
Abstract
This study is examining intimate partner abuse prevalence and its mental health consequences in samples of military and civilian women. After completing 3 of the 4 years of the study, we have reached our interview completion goals of 2000 screenings and 200 cases and 200 controls for the civilian sample. Completed interviews stand at 2005 screenings with an overall lifetime physical abuse prevalence rate of 35.5%. An additional 8.8% of the screened women reported lifetime emotional abuse. Analyses of the cases and controls are currently underway to explore the health consequences of partner abuse and preferences for partner abuse screening. Recruitment and interviewing of the military sample is in process. To date, we have signed consent forms form 63% women and 279 of these women have been interviewed.
