“…Following the appropriate adjustments, it was found that participants reporting minor (PR = 1·23; 95 % CI 1·12, 1·35) and severe (PR = 1·16; 95 % CI 1·00, 1·34) reciprocal physical violence were more likely to be experiencing household food insecurity, compared with those not reporting physical violence. The potential confounding variables used in the analysis have been identified in several previous studies as associated with both intimate partner violence and food and nutrition insecurity (24)(25)(26) .…”

Objective: To assess the association between physical intimate partner violence and household food security within households with schoolchildren. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Salvador, Bahia, north-eastern Brazil. Subjects: The study was conducted in 1019 households with students. Violence between couples was evaluated using the Portuguese version of the revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2), previously adapted and validated for use in Brazil. The Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale (BFIS) was used to identify food insecurity. We also obtained socio-economic information for each participant. We used multivariate Poisson regression to assess the associations of interest. Results: According to the results of the BFIS, 62·5 % of the households were found to experience food insecurity, including 19·5 % moderate food insecurity and 6·5 % severe food insecurity. The prevalence of minor physical violence was 9·6 % (95 % CI 7·8, 11·4 %) and of severe physical violence was 4·7 % (95 % CI 3·4, 6·0 %) among the couples. In the final multivariate model, it was found that couples reporting minor (prevalence ratio = 1·23; 95 % CI 1·12, 1·35) and severe (prevalence ratio = 1·16; 95 % CI 1·00, 1·34) physical violence were more likely to be experiencing household food insecurity, compared with those not reporting physical violence. Conclusions: Physical intimate partner violence was associated with food insecurity of households. The present study brings new data to the subject of the role of violence in the context of food insecurity.

“…The risk factors for IPV are complex, and encompass: demographic, family, gender, relationship, psychological, contextual and peer-related factors (Capaldi, Knoble, Shortt, & Kim, 2012). Similarly, HIV-related risk factors span a whole range, including: biological, social, behavioural, cultural, economic and structural (Ramjee & Daniels, 2013).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a global health problem of epidemic proportions, affecting a third of women across the globe and as many as 60% in heavily affected regions of Africa. There is strong evidence that risk of IPV is heightened in HIV-infected women, and emerging evidence linking experiencing IPV and/or HIV to a higher likelihood of experiencing mental health problems. This triple burden makes women in Africa, living in the epicentre of HIV, all the more vulnerable. In this synthesis, this study reviewed literature pertaining to the overlap of IPV, HIV, and mental health problems. It presents a series of geographical maps illustrating the heavy burden of IPV and HIV globally, and how these coincide with a growing prevalence of mental health problems in Africa. Furthermore, it presents evidence on: the association between IPV and HIV, shared risk factors, and health consequences. This synthesis sheds light on the fact that $30% of women are affected by these three burdens concurrently, and the need for intervention is essential. Promising large scale interventions which have taken place in Africa are described, and evidence is presented in support of integrated versus targeted screening. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…On the other hand, Capaldi et al [23] found evidence of a stronger association between drug use and IPV. A study by Caetano et al [24] found that alcohol did not predict male to female part-ner abuse.…”

“…In a systematic review by Capaldi et al, [23] the authors concluded that there is some evidence to support the positive association between alcohol use and intimate partner violence, but it was of a low magnitude and not found consistently. On the other hand, Capaldi et al [23] found evidence of a stronger association between drug use and IPV.…”

“…[26,27] While this study addresses the potential confounding roles of country of origin, age, and education, we were not able to adjust for additional contextual characteristics (e.g., acculturation, stress), family factors (e.g., gender role, marianismo levels), peer associations and influence (e.g., association with deviant peers; social and emotional support), psychological and behavioral factors (e.g., conduct problems/antisocial behaviors, personality disorder, depression, suicide attempts, self-esteem), and cognitive factors (hostile attributes, attitudes, and beliefs). [23] This study did not adjust for substance abuse and heavy alcohol use in the household, factors that can potentially be correlated with substance abuse and alcohol use among offspring. The oversampling of dyads in which both mothers and daughters were substance users may have influenced the inclusion of more cases of women exposed to emotional abuse.…”

Emotional abuse is the most prevalent form of violence against Latinas. We examined dimensions and characteristics of Latino mothers' and daughters' exposure to emotional abuse and the associations between emotional abuse and heavy alcohol use and illicit drug illicit substance abuse. This 5-year longitudinal study included 112 Latino mothers and 121 Latino daughters. Analyses included: chi-square test and logistic regression. The proportion of women who reported being emotionally abused at Wave 2 but who did not report any emotional abuse during Wave 1 (5 years total) was 21.2% for daughters and 14.3% for mothers. Among emotionally abused women, 33.3% of mothers and 36.1% of daughters were abused by 2 or more people. Almost half of the mothers (48.0%) were emotionally abused by their son/daughter; 36.1% of daughters were emotionally abused by their mother. Mothers who abused drugs were more likely to be emotionally abused (OR = 3.86; 95% CI = 1.32, 11.34). Our findings suggest that attention should be given to emotional abuse and its potential for leading to substance abuse among Latinas.
