“…The majority of studies focus on the effect of community and neighbourhood characteristics, frequently in the context of cities in the USA (Vanderende et al 2012;Beyer et al 2013). This literature has analysed the impact of a large set of community-level drivers including community gender norms, socio-economic standing, violence and social disorganization (Caetano et al 2010;Browning 2002;Jain et al 2010).…”

This study uses multi-level regression analysis to determine the impact of macrolevel drivers on intimate partner violence. It argues that we need to look beyond the usual, individual-level risk factors in order to understand why women experience abuse at the hands of their intimate partners. Using Demographic and Health Survey data from 40 developing countries, this paper demonstrates that socio-economic development, beliefs and laws play an important role in explaining intimate partner violence.Keywords: violence against women, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, multilevel analysis 2

“…Studies have suggested that intimate partner violence is positively associated with factors such as age (Millett, Seay, & Kohl, 2015;Walker, Bowen, & Brown, 2013), residency (Tang & Lai, 2008), marital duration (Babu & Kar, 2010), education (Shorey, Tirone, & Stuart, 2014;VanderEnde, Yount, Dynes, & Sibley, 2012), occupation (Heath, 2012;Krishnan et al, 2010), economic status (Hines, 2007;Koenig, Stephenson, Ahmed, Jejeebhoy, & Campbell, 2006), problem alcohol use (Chang, Shen, & Takeuchi, 2009;Jewkes, Levin, & Penn-Kekana, 2002), traditional ideas (Lichter & McCloskey, 2004;Taylor, Nair, & Braham, 2013), gender inequity (Gomez, Speizer, & Moracco, 2011), liberal ideas on woman's role (Jewkes et al, 2002), culture (Wendt, 2009), witnessing parental violence in childhood (Abrahams, Jewkes, Laubsher, & Hoffman, 2006;Speizer, 2010) and attitude toward IPV (Fincham, Cui, Braithwaite, & Pasley, 2008;Stith, Smith, Penn, Ward, & Tritt, 2004).…”

“…1 Aunque existe evidencia de la relevancia de los factores socioculturales en el riesgo de violencia contra las mujeres, 1 y de los efectos en su salud mental, 16 aún son muchas las cuestiones que resta resolver. 17 Además, la mayoría de los estudios con víctimas se han realizado con muestras clíni-cas, las cuales por lo común recogen sólo los casos más graves. 18 Por tanto, el objetivo general del presente trabajo es analizar el maltrato de la mujer por parte de su pareja en la población general mediante un estudio comparativo de mujeres de España y México.…”

BackgroundViolence against women is internationally recognized as a social phenomenon representing a public health and a human rights problem. Partner abuse is its most common form and it affects the victim's physical and mental health in the short-and long-term. ObjectiveTo analyze partner abuse in women from the general population based on a comparative study with women from Mexico and Spain. Another goal was to study the impact of this type of abuse on women's mental health and the relevance of socio-cultural risk factors. MethodTransversal study with 101 Mexican women and 101 Spaniard women from the general population evaluated in seven psychological tests on partner abuse, mental health, self-esteem, social support and attitudes towards gender roles. ResultsMost Mexican women and more than half of the Spaniards suffered abuse from their partners. Psychological maltreatment was the most frequent form of abuse. This was associated with worst mental health, less social support and more traditional attitudes towards gender roles. Discussion and conclusionThe results of this study indicate that partner abuse, especially psychological is a common problem among women from the general population, coinciding with reports related to its prevalence in both countries, and it seems to be influenced by socio-cultural patterns. Partner abuse, especially psychological, is a threat for women's mental health that needs to be attended focusing on the socio-cultural risk factors underlying it.
