Notes:	"The Official Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association" This article reports the findings of a US study aimed at determining if women who have experienced violence have higher prevalence rates of invasive cervical cancer. The researchers found that rates of cervical cancer were higher for women who had experienced violence, and highest for those who experienced the three forms of violence (intimate partner violence, adult exposure to forced sex, and child exposure to sexual abuse) relative to those women who had never experienced violence .
