“…Second, due to the violent environment in El Salvador, one of the most violent and dangerous areas in Latin America, children tend to be exposed to various types of violence throughout their lives, not only from their parents or guardians, but also from other youths. For instance, gang violence in El Salvador is a serious concern, and the average age for joining gangs is 15 (Cruz et al, 2017). Many girls in El Salvador become victims of sexual violence by gang-affiliated perpetrators, but they do not report this violence due to trust issues with the authorities and worries that their family members might be targets of gang retaliation (Dotson & Frydman, 2018).…”

This study examined the impact of child abuse on intimate partner violence (IPV) among a representative sample of 3,296 women using the Violence Against Women National Survey data from El Salvador. We found that child physical, sexual, and psychological abuse were independently associated with IPV, and experiencing child polyvictimization, along with having a controlling husband increased the risk of IPV victimization. To prevent child abuse (poly)victimization and IPV, and its negative consequences in El Salvador, implementing programs that focus on group training for women and men, as well as, community mobilizations that involve multiple stakeholders with multiple approaches would be beneficial.

“…Adolescence is a time of increased brain growth and a vulnerable stage for social and emotional learning; a strong self-identity, an emotional and physical well-being, and an interest in learning are all regarded as crucial elements for healthy development ( Rode et al, 2019 ). As a result, it can hinder a child’s natural and healthy growth when child maltreatment occurs due to parental intimate partner violence (IPV) ( Brassard et al, 2020 ). Various studies have shown that various developmental consequences might result from adolescents’ exposure to parental IPV ( Alaggia and Donohue, 2018 ; Carlson et al, 2019 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic may have substantially impacted adolescents’ mental health. Therefore, this study aims to assess the influence of exposure to parental intimate partner violence (IPV) and demographic variables on adolescents’ self-esteem. A cross-sectional approach was used in this study. The sample consisted of 214 adolescents from different areas in Kerala, India, who completed the Cooper Smith Self-Esteem and Child Exposure to Domestic Violence questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and an independent t-test. Results indicated that exposure to parental IPV and demographic variables such as parents’ education, occupation, and family income significantly predict self-esteem in adolescents. Moreover, high exposure to parental IPV may cause low self-esteem in adolescents. School and family-based online interventions are needed to protect IPV-affected adolescents and enhance their self-esteem.

“…Thus, it is unclear if child maltreatment is linked to adult disordered eating independent of IPV and vice versa, or if experiencing both in combination is particularly detrimental. Because people who experience child maltreatment are more likely to experience IPV as adults (Brassard et al, 2020), this is a significant limitation.…”

“…IPV is also an emerging risk factor for adult disordered eating (Bartlett et al, 2018; Bundock et al, 2013; Lucea et al, 2012; Wong & Chang, 2016). Even though child maltreatment survivors have an increased risk of experiencing IPV (Brassard et al, 2020), the child maltreatment‐disordered eating and IPV‐disordered eating literatures have developed independently, without explicit attention paid to the overlap of childhood and adulthood victimization. Thus, it is unclear whether the relationship between child maltreatment and adult disordered eating is confounded with adult IPV (or vice versa).…”

ObjectiveDisordered eating is one of the most prevalent mental health concerns (Galmiche et al., 2019, Quick & Byrd‐Bredbenner, 2013, Neumark‐Sztainer et al., 2006). Studies show that child maltreatment increases the likelihood of disordered eating symptoms in adulthood (Caslini et al., 2016, Hazzard et al., 2019). However, these studies overlook abuse experiences later in life, such as intimate partner violence which may also be a significant contributing factor (Bundock et al., 2013). The proposed study will help identify whether childhood maltreatment and IPV are independent predictors and/or if the combination of the two are synergistic risk factors for adult disordered eating.MethodWe use data from 14,332 people from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). Participants completed questionnaires assessing child maltreatment, intimate partner violence, and disordered eating symptoms. We will perform a series of logistic regression models to examine a) whether child maltreatment and intimate partner violence are independently associated with disordered eating and b) whether exposure to the combination of both child maltreatment and intimate partner violence is associated with worse outcomes for adult disordered eating compared to exposure to only one or none at all. We also propose a supplemental analysis to establish the robustness of these effects when accounting for the highest parental education, federal poverty percentage level, race/ethnicity, gender, and age.Public SignificanceDisordered eating is a serious mental health concern, especially in an emerging adult population. Child maltreatment is consistently associated with disordered eating in adulthood. However, the independent or synergistic role of more recent abuse experiences, such as intimate partner violence, remains largely unknown. The proposed study provides insight into how both childhood abuse and intimate partner violence may be associated with disordered eating independently or in combination.
