“…Yet, current research remains inadequate, mainly due to methodological issues, making comparisons across studies difficult (Pritchard et al, 2015), a challenge also facing DV research more generally (Bender, 2016). As a result, determining the prevalence of NFS can be problematic and varies substantially depending on the nature and size of the sample (Bendlin & Sheridan, 2019; Black et al, 2011; Glass et al, 2008; Marks et al, 2020; Pritchard et al, 2015; Shields et al, 2010; Sorenson et al, 2014; Wilbur et al, 2001). Population-based samples report a lower prevalence of NFS (3%–9.7%) (Black et al, 2011; Sorenson et al, 2014) than specific sample groups, such as those receiving medical attention following a DV event (26%–79%) (Marks et al, 2020; Shields et al, 2010), those in DV-related police data samples (11.5%–16.6%) (Bendlin & Sheridan, 2019; Pritchard et al, 2018), and among women presenting to refuges (68%) (Wilbur et al, 2001).…”
