dc.description.notesBackground Violence against women is increasingly recognised as an important issue in both research and social policy. Aims To assess the lifetime experience of physical and sexual violence among lone and partnered mothers and the association with psychiatric disorders. Method Analysis of the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing. The representative sample included 2232 women with children who completed the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, a scale of psychological distress and socio-demographic measures. Results Lone mothers were more likely to have psychiatric disorders (odds ratios between 2.4 and 3.4) and have experienced physical and sexual violence (odds ratios between 3.1 and 4.1) than partnered mothers. The measures of physical and sexual violence were better predictors of psychiatric disorders than either lone parent status or the socio-demographic measures. Conclusions Experience of physical and sexual violence accounted for much of the greater prevalence of psychiatric disorders among lone compared with partnered mothers. Declaration of interest None.
