“…At four years and ten years postpartum, depressive and anxiety symptoms were reported by 15% and 25.3% of women, respectively 52,57,58 . The prevalence of depressive symptoms at 4‐year follow‐up (14.5%) and 10‐year follow‐up (18.5%) was higher than at any time point in the first 12 months postpartum and was not explained by subsequent pregnancies or births 52,57 .…”

Over time, there has been an increase in the proportions of women reporting psychotropic medication use (18.9% at ten years compared with 13.9% at four years) and thoughts of self‐harm (8.9% at ten years, 5.4% at four years and 4.8% at one year postpartum) 57‐59 …”

“…Women reporting IPV at 1‐year, 4‐year and 10‐year follow‐up were categorised as experiencing emotional IPV alone, physical IPV alone or concurrent emotional and physical IPV . Emotional IPV (alone or in combination with physical IPV) was the most common type of IPV reported 58,63 . One strand of current work is seeking to assess the relationship between exposure to different types of IPV and maternal physical and mental health outcomes.…”

Background Maternal health is critical to the health and well‐being of children and families, but is rarely the primary focus of pregnancy and birth cohort studies. Globally, poor maternal health and the exposure of women and children to family violence contribute to the perpetuation and persistence of intergenerational health inequalities. Objectives The Maternal Health Study was designed to investigate the contribution of social and obstetric risk factors to common maternal physical and psychological morbidities. Over time, our focus has expanded to include mother‐child pairs and investigation of intergenerational trauma and family violence. Population A total of 1507 first‐time mothers were recruited in early pregnancy from six public hospitals in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003‐2005. Methods Women completed questionnaires or telephone interviews in early pregnancy (≤24 weeks); at 32 weeks’ gestation; at three, six, nine, 12 and 18 months postpartum; and at four and ten years. At ten years, women and children were invited to participate in face‐to‐face interviews, which included direct assessment of children's cognitive and language development. A wide range of obstetric, social and contextual factors have been measured, including exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) (1‐year, 4‐year and 10‐year follow‐up). Results 1507 eligible women were recruited at a mean gestation of 15 weeks. At one year, four years and ten years postpartum, 90.0%, 73.1% and 63.2% of the original cohort took part in follow‐up. One in three women in the study (34.5%) reported exposure to IPV in the first ten years of motherhood: 19% in the first 12 months postpartum, 20% in the year prior to four‐year follow‐up and 18.3% in the year prior to ten‐year follow‐up. Conclusion The study affords a unique opportunity to examine patterns of maternal and child health and health service use associated with exposure to IPV.

“…20.9% of our sample reported at least one type of IPV, 16.7% emotional abuse, 10.6% physical abuse, 7.5% harassment and 1.2% experienced severe combined at 30 years of age. It would be useful to compare our results to those of other population studies, however, most of research conducted using CAS has been on pregnant women or new mothers(348)(349)(350)(351).The reason for the high prevalence of IPV in young people is not very clear. However, it may be explained regarding the changes in the Australian family values and structure.…”
