 The study aimed to identify factors consistently associated with intimate partner violence, IPV, against women across 10 countries. Using standardized population-based household surveys, the researchers found that many factors affected IPV risk similarly across sites, including secondary education, high SES, formal marriage, alcohol abuse, cohabitation, young age, attitude supportive of wife beating, having outside sexual partners, experiencing childhood abuse, growing up with domestic violence, and experiencing or perpetrating other forms of violence in adulthood. The study suggests that IPV prevention programs should focus on transforming gender norms and attitudes, addressing childhood abuse, and reducing harmful drinking to reduce the risk of IPV.
