“…For many years, research and services implicitly assumed that women were primarily victims and men were almost exclusively perpetrators of IPV [81,82]. This approach has been challenged more recently [18], yet male victimization is still rarely addressed in LMIC.…”

Background Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent in high-as well as low-income contexts. It results in a substantial public health burden and significant negative socioeconomic and health outcomes throughout the life-course. However, limited knowledge exists about IPV during early adolescence. This period is critical during the transition to adulthood for at least two reasons: it is when the majority of adolescents in low-income countries first encounter dating, sexuality and partnerships, often with older adolescents or adults, and it is also the period when lifelong patterns of violence and norms about acceptable IPV are formed. The current study is one of the first to measure IPV prevalence among young adolescents in a low-income setting, examine the potential etiology, and investigate relationships with gender ideology, poverty, mental health and childhood adversity. Methods We surveyed 2,089 adolescents aged 10-16 in Malawi using standardized instruments. We estimated the prevalence of IPV, and use multivariate logistic regression to test potential correlates. Results More than a quarter (27%) of ever-partnered adolescents in Malawi report being victimized. A substantial proportion of both male and female adolescents (15%) report committing violence against their partner. Girls were more likely than boys to report being a victim of sexual IPV (24% versus 8%), and boys more likely to perpetrate such (9% versus 1%). Almost 10% of the sample had both committed and been a victim of IPV. Cumulative childhood adversity (e.g., physical abuse, witnessing domestic violence) was a consistent and strong correlate of IPV victimization (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.30) and of perpetration (aOR 1.35). Depression and PTSD were likewise associated with IPV victimization in the overall sample.

“…Lawrence et al, 2009;Renner et al, 2014) . This distinction holds important implications as it presents contextual information to further understand the abuse and the nature of it; this is information that should be integrated into intervention strategies (Bates, 2016). The dyadic nature means understanding individual motivations as well as relationship dynamics which are critical in understanding the meaning of the violence.…”

“…In order to develop effective interventions, it is necessary to know the nature of IPV (subtype of unidirectional or bidirectional violence), and this requires knowledge of the context in which the violence occurs or motivations for violence perpetration. Different intervention models may be required in cases where perpetrators are also victims of IPV, when males are exclusively the perpetrators or exclusively victims [53].…”

The exposure of adult children to inter-parental violence is an indirect form of victimization which has not been widely investigated in relation to its consequences in adulthood. The main goal of this study was to analyze predictors of dating violence based on an integrated model of intergenerational transmission of violence with the assessment of potential indirect effects of inter-parental violence exposure on dating violence through child-to-parent violence and sexism. A total of 847 college students participated in this study, ranging from 18 to 25 years of age. Inter-parental violence exposure plays a relevant role in dating violence, with indirect effects through child-to-parent violence and sexism. These results support social learning theory in explaining the intergenerational transmission of violence and indicate that further attention should be paid to children exposed to inter-parental violence. Intervention models to prevent the perpetration of dating violence should include the prevention of inter-parental violence exposure and child-to-parent violence.
