Notes

Abstract: This study examines the negative relationship between partner violence and women’s mental and physical health. Women who have sustained intimate partner violence have been found to disproportionately suffer from depression, thoughts of suicide, gastrointestinal complaints, and reproductive problems. Rates and consequences of physical violence are likely underreported. Despite the negative effects of being in a violent relationship, abused women often remain with their violent partner. The results of this study suggest that negative health consequences of sustaining violence persist, despite ending a violent relationship. Mental health appears to be worse for women exiting violent relationships, who sustained threats, acts of violence, and sexual aggression, significantly more often than women who remained in violent relationships or reported no violence at all.
