This review explored the use of linked administrative data to study outcomes associated with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), which are traumatic events during childhood. A search of Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, ERIC, Education Source, and CINAHL Plus identified studies published from 1998 to 2023. To be included, studies had to use linked administrative data to determine ACE exposure in individuals aged 0 to 18 years, focusing on outcomes categorized as Health, Education, Welfare, or Justice. Following deduplication, title and abstract screening, and a full text review, a total of 309 studies met the inclusion criteria. The review summarized study characteristics such as publication year, geographic location, sample size, age of participants, type of ACE exposure, and outcome studied. An increasing trend in ACE-related publications over the review period was evident, with sample sizes most commonly ranging from 5,001 to 50,000 individuals. The majority of studies utilized data sourced in Australia and the USA, and the participants were predominantly aged 0 to 2 years, with fewer studies involving older children. Over half of the included studies focused on single ACE exposures, particularly sexual abuse, either as a standalone factor or part of broader child maltreatment reports. ACE exposure was most often identified at the level of the “parent/carer,” with mothers more likely to be included when a single parent only was analyzed. Health outcomes were the most frequently studied. While linked administrative data provides a powerful tool for examining multiple exposures and outcomes, the review found a potential under-utilization of its full potential, with fewer studies addressing multiple exposures and outcomes simultaneously.

Economic violence against women includes control and exploitation of economic resources, employment sabotage, and partners’ refusal to contribute to household necessities. This form of intimate partner violence threatens women’s economic welfare, independence, and health. Despite its significance, evidence on effective prevention strategies remains limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate global experimental evidence on interventions addressing economic violence against women. We systematically searched MEDLINE and Web of Science, supplemented by hand searches, for randomized controlled trials measuring economic violence among partnered women. We identified 49 studies across 31 countries, with a total sample of 106,868 individuals and 397 effect size estimates. Interventions took place in low and middle-income countries and ranged from economic empowerment programs—such as cash transfers and business training—to health initiatives and gender-transformative approaches, with most employing multi-component designs ( n = 34). Only 12 studies explicitly defined economic violence as an outcome, while most assessed individual subcomponents only, particularly economic control. Victimization was the primary measure ( n = 48), and perpetration was rarely assessed ( n = 6). Our meta-analysis found a significant reduction in economic violence (Hedges’ g −0.076, p < .01). Interventions targeting couples and those in South Asia showed the largest effects. While interventions show promise, future programs require greater awareness of economic violence in intervention design and should prioritize couple-based approaches. Future research needs to develop validated, culturally adapted measures to capture all forms of economic violence, address the lack of perpetration data, and expand studies to high-income countries to better understand the broader dynamics of economic violence.
对妇女的经济暴力包括控制和剥削经济资源,破坏就业,以及伴侣拒绝为家庭必需品做出贡献。这种形式的亲密伴侣暴力威胁到妇女的经济福利、独立和健康。尽管其意义重大,但关于有效预防战略的证据仍然有限。本系统综述和荟萃分析评估了关于解决针对妇女的经济暴力的干预措施的全球实验证据。我们系统地检索了MEDLINE和Web of Science,并辅以手工检索,以进行随机对照试验,测量有伴侣的女性之间的经济暴力。我们确定了31个国家的49项研究,总样本为106,868人,效应量估计为397。干预措施在低收入和中等收入国家开展,范围从经济赋权方案(如现金转移支付和商业培训)到卫生举措和性别变革方法,其中大多数采用多成分设计(n = 34)。只有12项研究明确将经济暴力定义为结果,而大多数研究只评估了个别子成分,特别是经济控制。受害是主要的衡量标准(n = 48),而犯罪很少被评估(n = 6)。我们的荟萃分析发现,经济暴力显著减少(Hedges的g - 0.076, p < 0.01)。针对夫妇和南亚夫妇的干预措施效果最大。虽然干预措施显示出希望,但未来的计划需要在干预设计中提高对经济暴力的认识,并应优先考虑以夫妻为基础的方法。未来的研究需要制定有效的、适应文化的措施,以捕捉所有形式的经济暴力,解决缺乏犯罪数据的问题,并将研究扩大到高收入国家,以更好地了解经济暴力的更广泛动态。

Men's behavior change programs are a crucial component of contemporary efforts to address domestic violence, particularly (though not exclusively) across the Global North. Yet studies of program effectiveness consistently report high attrition rates and, importantly, an association between non-completion and recidivism. Scholars are thus increasingly concerned with understanding factors that predict program completion. However, limited research examines engagement beyond this binary notion of completion/non-completion. Adopting a broader scope, our systematic review examined English language, peer-reviewed research into the risk and protective factors that may influence engagement with/disengagement from all-male domestic violence perpetrator group programs. Our review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. Databases searched include ProQuest, Ovid, EBSCOhost, and Web of Science, from which 164 sources were subject to full-text review, and 80 sources (published 1988-2023) were included. The sources report on studies that use quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research designs, based in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Portugal, and Spain. Through narrative synthesis, we explore how this research conceptualizes completion, considers (or indeed overlooks) engagement, and makes sense of risk/protective factors for non-completion and disengagement. Our findings highlight the inconsistent and often arbitrary definition and measurement of program completion across studies, calling into question its usefulness as a proxy for program effectiveness. Most crucially, our findings support the need for more nuanced analyses of program outcomes that capture the non-linear, relational process with which people engage in perpetrator programs, and behavior change more broadly.
男性行为改变项目是当代解决家庭暴力的一个重要组成部分,尤其是(尽管不是唯一)在全球北方。然而,对项目有效性的研究一致报告了高流失率,重要的是,未完成与再犯之间存在关联。因此,学者们越来越关注了解预测课程完成的因素。然而,除了完成/未完成这一二元概念之外,有限的研究还对参与度进行了考察。采用更广泛的范围,我们的系统综述检查了英语语言,同行评议的研究,研究了可能影响参与/退出全男性家庭暴力施暴者小组项目的风险和保护因素。我们的评价是按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)声明进行的。检索的数据库包括ProQuest、Ovid、EBSCOhost和Web of Science,其中164个来源接受全文审查,包括80个来源(发表于1988-2023年)。资料来源报告了在美国、加拿大、英国、澳大利亚、葡萄牙和西班牙使用定量、定性和混合方法研究设计的研究。通过叙述综合,我们探讨了该研究如何概念化完成,考虑(或实际上忽略)粘性,并理解未完成和脱离粘性的风险/保护因素。我们的研究结果强调了不同研究中项目完成度的定义和测量的不一致和常常是武断的,这对其作为项目有效性代理的有用性提出了质疑。最重要的是,我们的研究结果支持对项目结果进行更细致入微的分析,以捕捉人们参与犯罪者项目的非线性关系过程,以及更广泛的行为改变。

Research shows that different forms of child maltreatment often co-occur, including child sexual abuse (CSA) and children's exposure to adult domestic violence (DV). However, the extent of this co-occurrence remains poorly understood. This article presents findings from a scoping review of articles reporting prevalence data for co-occurring CSA and DV. The review included systematic searches and reviews of both scholarly and gray literature. Studies were included if they were published in English and reported childhood experiences of both CSA and DV, with no restrictions on publication date, geographic location, or methodology. This review collates findings from the 19 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Prevalence rates for co-occurring CSA and DV ranged from 0.9% to 91%. Aside from general methodological differences across the studies, this review identified the target population as an important source of variation in prevalence estimates. Samples drawn from the general, CSA victim/survivor, and DV victim/survivor target populations revealed different patterns, with the CSA population exhibiting significantly higher rates of co-occurrence with DV compared to the other two groups. The review also found that there are sex differences in co-occurring CSA and DV just as there are for each type of abuse individually. This article summarizes the available data on co-occurring CSA and DV, points to areas where future research is needed, and highlights implications for practice.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) significantly affects victims' physical and mental health. Neurocognitive impairments, particularly in executive functioning, are crucial for daily functionality. However, no reviews or meta-analyses have focused on executive function (EF) alterations or the associated mechanisms contributing to a better understanding. This study aimed to synthesize and analyze differences in EF performance between women victims of IPV and non-victims, while also exploring potential mechanisms underlying these specific impairments. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Searches were performed in the PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, PsycINFO, and Scopus databases. A random-effects model was employed to calculate pooled effect sizes. A total of 22 studies published between 2002 and 2023 met the inclusion criteria and were included, comprising 1,425 women victims of IPV and non-victims. The meta-analysis revealed moderate to large effects on cognitive flexibility, inhibition, and semantic verbal fluency domains, with IPV victims showing lower performance. Working memory's effect was non-significant. The qualitative synthesis demonstrated poorer phonological verbal fluency, nonverbal fluency, planning, reasoning, decision-making, and working memory. This synthesis also outlined differences observed among women experiencing physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse, regardless of posttraumatic stress disorder or brain injury (BI). This systematic review and meta-analysis identified specific EF alterations in IPV victims, which may result from BI, psychopathology, or adverse childhood experiences, with their individual contributions requiring exploration in future studies. These findings can inform personalized interventions and decision-making within a legal context.
亲密伴侣暴力严重影响受害者的身心健康。神经认知障碍,特别是在执行功能方面,对日常功能至关重要。然而,关于执行功能(EF)改变或相关机制的综述或荟萃分析尚未有助于更好地理解。本研究旨在综合和分析IPV女性受害者与非受害者之间EF表现的差异,同时探索这些特定损伤的潜在机制。根据系统评价和荟萃分析指南的首选报告项目进行系统评价和荟萃分析。在PubMed、Web of Science Core Collection、PsycINFO和Scopus数据库中进行检索。采用随机效应模型计算合并效应大小。2002年至2023年期间发表的22项研究符合纳入标准,其中包括1 425名IPV妇女受害者和非受害者。元分析显示,IPV对认知灵活性、抑制和语义语言流畅性领域有中等到较大的影响,IPV受害者表现较低。工作记忆的影响不显著。定性综合表现出较差的语音语言流畅性、非语言流畅性、计划、推理、决策和工作记忆。该综合研究还概述了在经历身体、性和/或心理虐待的女性中观察到的差异,无论是否有创伤后应激障碍或脑损伤(BI)。这项系统综述和荟萃分析确定了IPV受害者的特定EF改变,这些改变可能是由BI、精神病理或不良的童年经历引起的,它们的个体贡献需要在未来的研究中探索。这些发现可以为法律背景下的个性化干预和决策提供信息。

Male-to-female intimate partner violence (MFIPV) is a pervasive issue, with alcohol use and masculine norm endorsement identified as risk factors. However, research on how these two factors intersect with MFIPV perpetration is scarce. This review aims to understand if and how male alcohol use and masculinity intersect with MFIPV perpetration. A systematic search of Medline, PsycINFO, CINHAL, Global Health, and Web of Science was conducted. Papers underwent two levels of screening (title and abstract; full-text review) to determine eligibility, followed by methodological assessment and data extraction of all eligible studies. Three-level random effects meta-analyses were conducted to estimate pooled effect sizes for three outcomes of interest. Meta-regression analyses were performed to explore potential sources of heterogeneity across studies. Additionally, a narrative synthesis of qualitative data was undertaken. From 6,441 identified studies, 20 met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis results indicated greater alcohol use frequency (pooled odds ratio [OR] = 1.39, p = .004) and higher masculine norm endorsement (pooled OR = 1.12, p = .007) significantly increased the odds of MFIPV perpetration. Differences in sample size and measurement tools between studies accounted for significant proportions of observed heterogeneity. The interaction of alcohol use and masculinity on IPV was not significant (pooled OR = 1.00, p = .758). Further, the narrative synthesis provided insights into the conceptualization of masculinity and its intersection with alcohol. Alcohol use and masculinity independently predicted MFIPV perpetration; however, their interaction, while not statistically significant, remains underexplored. Future research should adopt a culturally grounded, intersectional approach to better understand their combined influence on MFIPV.
男性对女性的亲密伴侣暴力(MFIPV)是一个普遍存在的问题,酒精使用和男性规范认可被确定为风险因素。然而,关于这两个因素如何与MFIPV犯罪相互作用的研究却很少。本综述旨在了解男性酒精使用和男性气质是否以及如何与MFIPV发生交叉。系统检索Medline、PsycINFO、CINHAL、Global Health和Web of Science。论文经过两个级别的筛选(标题和摘要;全文审查)以确定合格性,然后对所有符合条件的研究进行方法学评估和数据提取。进行了三水平随机效应荟萃分析,以估计三个感兴趣的结果的合并效应大小。进行meta回归分析以探索研究间异质性的潜在来源。此外,还对定性数据进行了叙述性综合。在6441项已确定的研究中,有20项符合纳入标准。荟萃分析结果表明,饮酒频率较高(合并优势比[OR] = 1.39, p =。004)和更高的男性规范认可(汇集OR = 1.12, p =。007)显著增加了MFIPV发生的几率。研究之间样本量和测量工具的差异占观察到的异质性的显著比例。酒精使用和男性气质对IPV的相互作用不显著(合并OR = 1.00, p = .758)。此外,叙事综合提供了洞察男子气概的概念化及其与酒精的交集。酒精使用和男子气概独立预测MFIPV的发生;然而,它们之间的相互作用,虽然没有统计学意义,但仍未得到充分探讨。未来的研究应采用以文化为基础的交叉方法,以更好地了解它们对MFIPV的综合影响。

A systematic literature review compares the perception of rape myths in Western and Central-Eastern Europe. The analysis includes 77 peer-reviewed scholarly articles published between 2013 and 2023, sourced from the ProQuest, Scopus, and ERIH Plus databases. Western Europe (Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Ireland, and Denmark) and Central-Eastern Europe (Croatia, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, and Hungary) were analyzed separately to account for regional differences. The findings indicate that in Central-Eastern European countries, the acceptance of rape myths is higher due to conservative social norms and deeply rooted gender stereotypes. In Western Europe, these myths take more subtle forms and are often masked by seemingly liberal rhetoric.

Western Europe (Sweden, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Belgium, Ireland, and Denmark) and Central-Eastern Europe (Croatia, Poland, Cyprus, Greece, and Hungary) were analyzed separately to account for regional differences. The findings indicate that in Central-Eastern European countries, the acceptance of rape myths is higher due to conservative social norms and deeply rooted gender stereotypes. In Western Europe, these myths take more subtle forms and are often masked by seemingly liberal rhetoric.

Individuals with severe mental illnesses (SMI), a highly vulnerable but understudied portion of the population, may be more susceptible to victimization. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of victimization and its correlates among SMI individuals. For that, we systematically reviewed data from PubMed (Medline), Web of Science, Scopus, APA PsycNet, and Scielo, including studies that assessed the prevalence of different types of victimization among adults with a broad spectrum of SMI, males and females, in clinical samples. Thirty full-text articles were included. Methodological quality was evaluated. Statistical analyses were used to estimate pooled prevalence of victimization for different periods, and random-effects model was used. Possible sources of heterogeneity were evaluated through subgroup analyses and meta-regression. Findings showed a lack of standardization in the methodology for assessing victimization. Overall analysis indicated high victimization rates among SMI individuals, even with great heterogeneity among them. The pooled prevalence of victimization over a period of up to 12 months was 33.3%. Sociodemographic and clinical factors were found as important correlates to victimization. These data can be used to identify the SMI individuals at higher risk of violence and to implement targeted health policies to prevent victimization in this population.
患有严重精神疾病(SMI)的个体,是一个高度脆弱但未被充分研究的人群,可能更容易成为受害者。我们的目的是调查在重度精神病人中受害的普遍程度及其相关因素。为此,我们系统地回顾了PubMed (Medline)、Web of Science、Scopus、APA psynet和Scielo的数据,包括在临床样本中评估不同类型的受害者在广泛的SMI成年人(男性和女性)中的患病率的研究。收录了30篇全文文章。评估方法学质量。采用统计分析方法估计不同时期的受害总发生率,并采用随机效应模型。通过亚组分析和元回归评估可能的异质性来源。调查结果显示,评估受害情况的方法缺乏标准化。总体分析表明,重度精神障碍个体的受害率很高,即使他们之间存在很大的异质性。在长达12个月的时间里,受害的总发生率为33.3%。社会人口学和临床因素被发现是受害的重要相关因素。这些数据可用于确定暴力风险较高的重度精神分裂症患者,并实施有针对性的卫生政策,以防止这一人群受害。

The scientific literature unanimously assumes that intimate partner violence (IPV) increases the vulnerability of victims to such an extent that the link between this type of violence and suicide appears to be particularly critical. The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the scientific evidence on the prevalence of suicide-suicidal ideation, attempts, and completions-in women who were victims of IPV admitted to emergency departments (EDs) due to suicide attempts. The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Review. The PubMed, Ebsco, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched using a string of Boolean operators that combined multiple synonyms of IPV, suicide, and EDs. The inclusion criteria were: adult women who were victims of IPV; being admitted to the ED for suicide attempts, and/or died by suicide; with or without a comparison group; and quantitative studies with all types of study design. The review included 22 studies from 1995 to 2023. All studies emphasized the extent to which a history of IPV particularly affects the psychological well-being of victims, limiting their sense of agency and impoverishing their identity and self-esteem, so that suicide was often seen as a way out of what had already occurred for many victims: a sense of psychological disintegration. A further urgency is to prevent the persistence of IPV, as this means preventing women from suicidal thoughts and attempts.
科学文献一致认为,亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)增加了受害者的脆弱性,以至于这种类型的暴力与自杀之间的联系似乎特别重要。本综述的目的是总结因自杀企图而被急诊科收治的女性IPV受害者中自杀流行率(自杀意念、自杀企图和自杀完成)的科学证据。按照系统评价的首选报告项目和范围评价的荟萃分析进行评价。PubMed、Ebsco和Web of Science数据库使用一串布尔运算符进行系统搜索,该运算符组合了IPV、自杀和ed的多个同义词。纳入标准为:IPV受害者的成年妇女;因企图自杀而入院及/或自杀身亡;有或没有对照组的;以及各种研究设计的定量研究。该综述包括1995年至2023年的22项研究。所有的研究都强调了IPV的历史在多大程度上特别影响了受害者的心理健康,限制了他们的能动性,削弱了他们的身份和自尊,因此自杀往往被视为摆脱许多受害者已经发生的事情的一种方式:心理解体感。另一个紧迫问题是防止IPV持续存在,因为这意味着防止妇女产生自杀念头和企图。
