• Overall, 10.9% of the sample reported experiencing any one of these abuses by partners (5.7%), family (1.8%), friends (1.4%), or strangers/other (2.3%)
• Only 3.3% were exposed during pregnancy.

Longitudinal Effect of Intimate Partner Abuse on High-Risk Behavior Among Adolescents (11-22 yrs)
Roberts et al.Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med 2003
• IPV – 273/2236 males (12.2%)- 302/2206 females (13.7%)
• Abuse by an intimate partner precedes involvement in:– illicit substance use– antisocial behavior– violent behavior– suicidal behavior – depression
• Controlled for SES, # partners, baseline risk behavior, prior abuse.

What causes violent behaviour?
• Learned by witnessing violence
• Cultural belief in a status that is central and deserving.
• Effective means of maintaining control
• Failure of the criminal justice system to make the perpetrator accountable by charging and prosecuting
• Genetics: Nr2e1, MaoA.

Introduction:As health care providers we know that family violence affects women’s health.
Because of the widespread problem of family violence, it is routine in this hospital to ask everyone these questions.
Question:Since you've been pregnant, have you been hit, slapped, kicked or otherwise
physically hurt by an intimate partner? Yes ____ No ____
Have you been afraid of a current or former intimate partner during your pregnancy?
Yes ____ No ____
Prior to your pregnancy, was your partner hurting you ?Yes ____ No ____ making you afraid?Yes ____ No ____
*************************************************************1. Provide safety planning if any answer is "yes". 2. Refer to a social worker if women would like one. (Guidelines for referral to
social workers are located in the Domestic Violence Binder in every module.)3. Offer her a community resources card. (in patient bathrooms, Chinese cards in
Domestic Violence Binders). 4. Document above interventions(1- 3) in progress notes.

Safety Planning
Help her make a plan for the next time:
•Who will she call?•Where can she go?•Emergency bag outside the house
• Cash, credit card, driver’s license, passports, birth certificate, immigration papers, care card, phone numbers, care keys and gas
• Copy of protective orders, custody papers
• Take the children•Stay between him and the door•Hide weapons

Behaviors of Children exposed to IPV Before and1 Year After a Treatment Program for Their Mother –
McFarlane et al, 2005.
![Page 63: Intimate Partner Violence and the Child-bearing Cycle: Issues in … · 2017-05-26 · Intimate Partner Violence and the Child-bearing Cycle: Issues in Prevention and Intervention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022080717/5f78425c2fc81346674ab902/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
What is “treatment”? - Mother-centered
• Reinforcing consistent mothering to minimize aggression and oppositional behaviour
• Authoritative parenting – high levels of both warmth and structure
• Reinforcing perception of maternal efficacy – acts as a buffer against the development of poor self esteem.
![Page 64: Intimate Partner Violence and the Child-bearing Cycle: Issues in … · 2017-05-26 · Intimate Partner Violence and the Child-bearing Cycle: Issues in Prevention and Intervention](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022080717/5f78425c2fc81346674ab902/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What is “treatment”? - Child-centered
• Teaching child coping behaviours increases appraisals of self-efficacy – Need affirmations, not being told what not to do.
• Child safety planning – calling 911, having a safe hiding place, running to a trusted person for help
• Calming behavours (emotion-focused coping) can buffer children from conflict – listening to music, writing in a diary, spending time with friends.
