“…Items are individually coded from 0 (never) to 3 (many times) and summed. Marshall (1992) reported coefficient alphas among a community sample ranging from .86 to .96 for the subscales. Coefficient alphas for this sample were .95 for the Time 1 (pregnancy) partner, .96 for the Time 2 current or most recent partner and .99 for the Time 2 partner who was prior to the current or most recent partner.…”

“…Behaviorspecific questions assessed 12 types of physical violence, 2 types of sexual violence, and 8 types of threats and harassment. The types of IPV were drawn from previous studies in the general U.S. population (Marshall, 1992;, augmented with items pertinent to low-income women's lives (Tolman & Rosen, 2001). For each type of IPV reported, the interviewer probed about the age (or calendar year) at which the respondent experienced that type of IPV for the first time, and whether it happened in any of the subsequent years.…”

Although the association among intimate partner violence (IPV), welfare receipt, and health status has been well-established, little is known about the temporal sequencing of these events. In a random sample of low-income African American women in an urban Midwestern county, lifecourse data about IPV and welfare receipt were obtained using the Life His- DeMarco, 1988), along with data about mental and physical health status. Controlling for relevant factors, longitudinal analyses found that previous experience of IPV increased women's odds of receiving welfare benefits in a given year, but previous welfare receipt did not. Cumulative IPV, but not cumulative welfare receipt, was associated with current and past-year health problems. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that IPV leads women to turn to welfare assistance, and that compromised physical and mental health due to past cumulative IPV interferes with women's gainful employment.KEY WORDS: intimate partner violence; health; mental health; welfare; lifecourse.The nested ecological model (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) has been used to understand the relationships among the multiple and interacting personal, situational, and sociocultural factors that contribute to women's experiences, such as intimate partner violence (IPV), welfare receipt, and poor health

“…We used a 32-item GBV scale to assess GBV. [14] For each item, we asked participants to report how many times in the previous year they had engaged in the act against a girlfriend, wife or other female, with response options of never, once, a few times, and many times. We grouped the items or acts into three categories: psychological abuse, non-sexual physical violence, and sexual violence.…”

Psychosocial risk and protective factors associated with perpetration of gender-based violence in a community sample of men in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

et al. 2016

Background. Rates of gender-based violence (GBV) in South Africa (SA) are among the highest in the world. In societies where social ideals of masculinity encourage male dominance and control over women, gender power imbalances contribute to male perpetration and women's vulnerability. The drivers that cause men to perpetrate GBV and those that lead to HIV overlap and interact in multiple and complex ways. Multiple risk and protective factors for GBV perpetration by males operate interdependently at a number of levels; at the individual level, these include chronic anxiety and depression, which have been shown to lead to risky sexual behaviours. Objectives. (i) To examine psychosocial risk factors (symptoms of anxiety and depression) as well as protective factors (social support and self-esteem) as self-reported by a cohort of males in rural KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Province, SA; and (ii) to determine whether there are differences in anxiety, depression, social support and self-esteem between perpetrators and non-perpetrators. Methods. A cross-sectional study using quasi-probability cluster sampling of 13 of 28 wards in Harry Gwala District, KZN. Participants were then randomly chosen from each ward proportionate to size. Results. The participants were relatively young (median age 22 years); over half were schoolgoers, and 91.3% had never married. Over 43% of the sample reported clinical levels of anxiety and depressive symptoms on the Brief Symptom Inventory. Rates of GBV perpetration were 60.9%, 23.6% and 10.0% for psychological abuse, non-sexual physical violence and sexual violence, respectively. GBV perpetration was associated with higher depression, higher anxiety, lower self-esteem and lower social support. Conclusions. Interventions to address GBV need to take modifiable individual-level factors into account.
