| dc.description.notes | Objective: To determine the prevalence and socio-demographic associations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse by a partner or ex-partner for women attending Australian general practices. Method: In 1996, women attending 20 randomly chosen Brisbane inner south region general practices were screened for a history of partner abuse using a self-report questionnaire. Multivariate analyses were conducted on the data, using presence of abuse or not adjusting for cluster effect to obtain prevalence rate ratios for socio-demographic background data and history of violence in the family of origin. Results: Thirty-seven per cent (CI 31.0-42.4) of the survey participants (n=1,836, response rate 78.5%) admitted to having ever experienced abuse in an adult intimate relationship. One in four women (23.3%) had ever experienced physical abuse, one in three (33.9%) emotional abuse and one in 10 (10.6%) sexual abuse. Abused women were 64.1 (CI 44.4-94.1) times more likely to have ever been afraid of any partner than non-abused women. Of women in current relationships (n=1,344), 8.0% self-reported physical or emotional or sexual abuse in the past 12 months and 1.5% all three types of abuse. Associations of abuse included being younger (<60 years), separated or divorced, having a history of child abuse or domestic violence between their parents. Conclusion: Partner abuse is very common in women attending general practices and clinicians need to be alert to possible indications of partner abuse (age, marital status, past history of abuse).<br/ >Electronic Resource Number:<br/ >10.1111/j.1467-842X.2002.tb00344.x<br/ >Times Cited: 39Cited References: Bradley F., 2002, BRIT MED J, V324, P1 BRIDGESWEBB C, 1992, MED J AUST S, V157, P1 CASTLES I, 1991, INFORMATION PAPER 19 DOBASH R, 1992, WOMEN VIOLENCE SOCIA, P281 Elliott B A, 1995, Arch Fam Med, V4, P113, DOI 10.1001/archfami.4.2.113 Ferrante A., 1996, MEASURING EXTENT DOM Hamberger L K, 1992, Fam Med, V24, P283 HEAD C, 1995, IMPROVING GEN PRACTI Hegarty K, 1999, J FAM VIOLENCE, V14, P399, DOI 10.1023/A:1022834215681 HEGARTY K, 1998, AUST NZ J PUBL HEAL, V22, P55 Hegarty KL, 2001, AUST NZ J PUBL HEAL, V25, P433, DOI 10.1111/j.1467-842X.2001.tb00653.x Hotaling G T, 1986, Violence Vict, V1, P101 KNIGHT R, 1996, GEN PRACTICE AUSTR 1 LEE J, 1994, INT J EPIDEMIOL, V23, P201, DOI 10.1093/ije/23.1.201 MARGOLIN G, 1988, HDB FAMILY VIOLENCE, P89 Mazza D, 1996, MED J AUSTRALIA, V164, P14 MCCAULEY J, 1995, ANN INTERN MED, V123, P737 MCLENNAN W, 1996, WOMENS SAFETY SURVEY Ramsay J, 2002, BRIT MED J, V325, P314, DOI 10.1136/bmj.325.7359.314 Rath G D, 1989, J Am Board Fam Pract, V2, P227 Richardson J., 2002, BRIT MED J, V324, P1 ROBERTS G, 1994, MED J AUSTRALIA, V159, P307 Smith M D, 1987, Violence Vict, V2, P173 STRAUS MA, 1986, J MARRIAGE FAM, V48, P465, DOI 10.2307/352033 *AUSTR BUR STAT, 1996, AUSTR CENS DAT *AUSTR BUR STAT, 1991, AUSTR CENS DAT *STATA, 1997, STATA STAT SOFTW COMHegarty, KL Bush, R | en |
