“…The association between poor labour market affiliation and violent victimization is well known from other studies. 8,12,[19][20][21] However, a previous British case-control study based on unselected ED contacts due to violence did not find any significant relation between unemployment or socioeconomic group and urban violence. 9 The small sample size and the fact that controls were selected among acquaintances of the victims may explain the results.…”

“…[25][26][27] Most other studies have likewise shown that living alone or being single are important risk factors of violent victimization. 7,19,20,25,26,[28][29][30] Low income has been related to an increased likelihood of violent victimization in a few other studies. 20,25 The association between household crowding or family size and violence has also been shown in a few previous studies of domestic violence.…”

“…Factors associated with IPV include age, [11][12][13] marital status, 12,13 level of education, [14][15][16][17] presence of children in the household, 11,12 income, 12 and activity limitation (physical/mental disability or health problem). 13,18 Our goal was to assess the prevalence of IPV among recent and nonrecent immigrant women in Canada with a large population-based representative sample.…”

Objective. We examined the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) among recent (0–9 years) and nonrecent (≥ 10 years) immigrant women in Canada to determine whether differences in IPV were associated with length of stay in Canada. Methods. We analyzed data from the 1999 General Social Survey, a national cross-sectional telephone survey. We used weighted logistic regression analysis to examine the effect of length of stay in Canada on IPV and controlled for socio-cultural and other factors associated with IPV. Results. The crude prevalence of IPV was similar among recent and nonrecent immigrant women. However, after adjustment, the risk for IPV was significantly lower among recent immigrant women compared with nonrecent immigrant women. Country of origin, age, marital status, and having an activity limitation (physical/mental disability or health problem) also were associated with a higher risk for IPV. Conclusions. Our findings have important implications for both prevention and detection of IPV among immigrant women.

Aim: Domestic violence is common in women and is associated with poorer healthcare outcomes. However, no causal pathway has been identified to explain this observation.We have followed a cohort of women to determine whether poorer outcomes can be explained by high rates of default and lost to follow up.Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed. Institutional ethics approval was obtained. Participants were consecutive patients attending colposcopy clinics at a major metropolitan hospital in Australia. Following ascertainment of domestic violence status, appointment outcomes for colposcopy services were tracked for a three-year period. Multivariate analysis was undertaken to determine demographic factors associated with default from care and loss to follow up.Results: Of 581 women approached, consent was obtained from 574 women (99%). Domestic violence status was obtained from 566 women, of whom 187 (33%) had a recent history of exposure. Women exposed to violence were more likely to default from colposcopy once (26.2% vs 7.4%; p<0.0001), twice (11.2% vs 3.2%, p=0.0001), or thrice (10.7% vs 2.4%, p<0.0001). They were more likely to be lost to follow up (8.0% vs 1.1%, P<0.0001). In multivariate analysis exposure to domestic violence remained significantly associated with default and loss to follow up.Conclusion: Domestic violence is a risk factor for default from attendance and lost to follow up at colposcopy services. This may explain the mechanism behind adverse healthcare outcomes seen. Screening and targeted appointment intervention programs may improve clinical compliance.
