    Adolescents’ Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence, Delinquent Behaviors and the Role of Perceived Social Support
    (2022-05) Robinson, Renita
    An underestimated 10.7 million of the 52.7 million US children (ages 0-17) living with two parents live in homes where male-to-female intimate partner violence (IPV) between adults has occurred in the last year. Children’s exposure to IPV (EIPV) affects their behavior, development and educational outcomes. Adolescent’s exposure and behavioral responses to EIPV is understudied. This study uses a secondary analysis of data from the third National Survey of Children Exposed to Violence (the most comprehensive nationwide survey of the incidence and prevalence of children’s exposure to violence conducted to date) to explore the ways adolescents’ EIPV are associated with delinquent behaviors, and whether the perception of social support (SS) is a protective factor in the relationship between EIPV and delinquent behaviors. This analysis extends the understanding of the relationship between EIPV, delinquency, and SS: (a) It documented that SS was more protective for females than males. (b) While White non-Hispanic children experienced lower levels of EIPV and higher levels of SS, both “races” demonstrated a benefit from SS. 3) Measures of SS vary only minimally across the age ranges in this study. In contrast both measures of delinquency and EIPV got worse with age.

    The Relationship Between Pregnancy and Domestic Violence in Mali
    (2020-04) Fate, Kassandra R
    The purpose of this study is to assess the magnitude of the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy. The data from the Demographic and Health Surveys in Mali in 2006 and 2012 was used and was confined to the respondents selected for the domestic violence module. The association between experience of domestic violence ‘ever’ and ‘in the past year’ with selected factors were examined by logistic regression and adjusted for cluster weight and sample weight. The result revealed that in 2006, the risk and frequency of physical IPV increases by 16% and emotional IPV increases by 31% when the woman in the relationship is pregnant. This is no longer significant in 2012. Additional results found that the risk and frequency of IPV increases by an average of 41% when the last child was wanted later and increases by an average of 72% when the last child wasn’t wanted. Physical IPV tended to be more prevalent in lower wealth quintiles, while emotional IPV tended to be more prevalent in higher quintiles.
