Notes:	The authors report on a longitudinal study relating to abused US women and their potential to develop high levels of depression and anxiety over time. The study examined 5-year psychosocial outcomes of women who reported that they had been in relationships where they experienced intimate partner violence (IPV) and those who denied experiencing IPV and included a review of their divorce and separation rates. It compared abused and non-abused women on their levels of depressive symptoms, self esteem, life satisfaction; functional impairment, social support, child behavioural problems and alcohol use using 5 year data from the first and second wave of the National Survey of Families & Households. This research also found that women with IPV were more likely to experience child behavioural problems, alcohol use and social support and these elements did not appear to be worse in the longer-term relationships.
