Abstract
Purpose
In this Brief Report, we prospectively examined associations between intimate partner violence (IPV) experiences early in the COVID-19 pandemic with later depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and modifiable health factors, among men.
Methods
Using observational data from 1,083 men in the United States from the Growing Up Today Study who participated in a 2020–2021 COVID-19 substudy, we examined associations between IPV exposure and health outcomes later in the pandemic: depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress symptoms, sleep duration, reduced sleep quality, decreased physical activity, increased alcohol use, and use of substances to cope with stress.
Results
IPV exposure was associated with increased mental health symptoms (ORdepression = 1.56 [1.36, 1.80], ORanxiety = 1.30 [1.15, 1.47], ORPTSS = 1.28 [1.14, 1.45]). Associations between IPV exposure and modifiable health factors were mixed, weak associations were observed for poorer sleep quality (OR = 1.23 [1.08, 1.41]) and increased use of substances to cope stress (OR = 1.19 [1.04, 1.36]).
Conclusions
The health impacts of IPV victimization on men are understudied. In times of collective stress, IPV screening is needed and increased awareness that men seeking help for mental health symptoms, sleep, or substance use may have exposure to IPV.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Family Violence (JOFV) is a peer-reviewed publication committed to the dissemination of rigorous research on preventing, ending, and ameliorating all forms of family violence. JOFV welcomes scholarly articles related to the broad categories of child abuse and maltreatment, dating violence, domestic and partner violence, and elder abuse. Within these categories, JOFV emphasizes research on physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, and homicides that occur in families. Studies on families in all their various forms and diversities are welcome. JOFV publishes studies using quantitative, qualitative, and/or mixed methods involving the collection of primary data. Rigorous systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and theoretical analyses are also welcome. To help advance scientific understandings of family violence, JOFV is especially interested in research using transdisciplinary perspectives and innovative research methods. Because family violence is a global problem requiring solutions from diverse disciplinary perspectives, JOFV strongly encourages submissions from scholars worldwide from all disciplines and backgrounds.
