Title: | Intimate partner violence in the young cohort of the Australian longitudinal study on women's health: urban/rural comparison and demographic associations | Contributor(s): | Dillon, Gina (author); Hussain, Rafat (author); Loxton, Deborah (author) | Publication Date: | 2015 | DOI: | 10.1080/18374905.2015.1039752 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/19287 | Abstract: | Intimate partner violence (IPV) is known to be linked to significant negative physical and mental health outcomes. This study addresses a gap in the Australian IPV literature by investigating lifetime IPV prevalence by rurality of residence, using data from a populationbased sample of young women. The overall lifetime IPV prevalence rate in the sample was 21.6%, but there were significant differences in IPV rates from major cities (19.6%), inner regional areas (24.4%) and other rural areas (26.1%). After adjusting for demographic variables, multivariable analysis revealed that there were still significantly raised odds of women from inner regional (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.01-1.33) and other rural areas (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.11-1.56) reporting lifetime IPV compared to women from major cities. Multivariable analysis also showed that a history of IPV was significantly associated with women being separated/divorced/widowed, having lower levels of education, income hardship and limited available social support. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Advances in Mental Health, 13(1), p. 18-29 | Publisher: | Taylor & Francis Australasia | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1837-4905 1838-7357 |
