“…Estimates for GBV lifetime exposure from this study, more than double a recent estimate of 25% among US women, 56 far exceed an estimate of 35% among Ohio women 47 and rival estimates among subpopulations most at risk in the United States, including multiracial women, of which 50% report lifetime exposure. 47 Due to the already established relationship between GBV exposure, increased healthcare cost, and disparate health outcomes, 18,57-60 including increased risk for cervical cancer, 18 the remarkable prevalence of GBV in the sample population suggests those working to reduce health disparities in Ohio Appalachia might consider the role of GBV exposure-both in terms of its impact on modifiable risk behaviors and health outcomes.…”

Background: Women living in Ohio Appalachia experience cervical cancer at disproportionately high rates. Intimate partner and sexual gender-based violence (GBV) and smoking are independent risk factors for cervical cancer and interact to heighten risk. Appalachian women smoke at higher rates than other Ohio women, but little is known about GBV exposure in the region. The purpose of this study was to establish prevalence of women's exposure to GBV in Ohio Appalachia and examine the association between GBV and smoking among women in the region. Methods: A two-phase address-based random sampling approach was used in three purposefully selected Ohio Appalachian counties to identify women to complete an interviewer administered cross-sectional survey (n = 398). The primary exposure variable was GBV Index Score, a 4 level indices representing increasing exposure to eight abuse types. Correlation analysis and logistic regression were used to examine smoking correlations and risk. Results: Almost 57% of women in the three selected Ohio Appalachian counties experienced GBV, with rate increasing to 77.5% among current smokers. The distribution of the GBV Exposure Index Score was significantly different across smoking status ( p < = 0.0001), with exposure of GBV increasing when moving from never, to former, to current smokers. When controlling for depression, age, and adult socioeconomic position, GBV Exposure Index was significantly associated with current smoking behavior (OR:1.62, 95% CI [1.21-2.17]). Discussion: Professionals working to reduce disparate disease burden among women in Ohio Appalachia should consider the role GBV plays in health behavior and behavioral change interventions, including smoking and smoking cessation.

“…Intimate partner violence (IPV) and its suspected precursor, teen dating violence (TDV), are significant public health problems that can have multiple deleterious outcomes ranging from physical problems such as gastrointestinal disorders and pelvic inflammatory disease, to mental health and behavioral implications, such as, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, risky sexual behavior, and suicidal ideation (Coker et al, 2000; Walsh et al, 2015). Moreover, experiencing relationship violence during adolescence may predispose youth to future violent relationships (Smith et al, 2003).…”

Objective Prior research with youth exposed to violence suggests that, in this high-risk population, boys may be victims of sexual teen dating violence (TDV) and injury as frequently as girls. We sought to replicate these findings with a demographically similar sample and to determine whether the findings could be attributed the high-risk nature of the sample by assessing the impact of violence exposure on sex differences. Methods A cross-sectional sample of 2577 youth (ages 11–18, M = 15.4, SD = 1.9, 52% female, 25% Caucasian) collected in 2004 from a high-risk community reported on history of dating and exposure to multiple forms of violence. We conducted moderation analyses to test whether polyvictimization (PV) and age moderated the potential sex differences in perpetration and victimization of sexual TDV and injury. Results No significant sex differences in victimization were observed regardless of degree of PV. Boys reported more frequent sexual TDV and injury perpetration relative to girls, but only for youth reporting high degree of PV. There were no sex differences in perpetration among low PV youth. Conclusions These findings suggest boys from high-risk communities may disproportionately perpetrate severe acts of TDV but at this early age they are equally likely to be victimized. To interrupt the cycle of violence victimization and perpetration, comprehensive violence prevention interventions targeting high-risk youth should be implemented at schools, in homes, and in the community; and they should recognize the potential for girls and boys to be victims of even the most severe forms of TDV.

“…Although previous work typically has focused on just one type of GBV such as sexual assault (Walsh et al, 2012), women are often exposed to multiple types of GBV (Black et al, 2011; Rees et al, 2011; Walsh, Keyes, Koenen, & Hasin, 2015). Exposure to more types of GBV is associated with increased risk for multiple mental health and substance use disorders (Rees et al, 2011).…”

Gender-based violence (GBV) is prevalent and associated with deleterious outcomes including posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorders. Despite substantial comorbidity between these conditions and personality disorders (PDs), few, if any, studies have examined associations between lifetime exposure to GBV and risk for a range of PDs in nationally representative U.S. samples. The current study addressed this gap in the literature by examining adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and population attributable fractions (PAFs) of ten PDs by lifetime GBV exposure. Participants were 20,089 women who participated in wave 2 (2004-2005) of the National Epidemiologic Survey of Alcohol and Related Conditions. Lifetime GBV and PD were reported by 25% and 20% of women, respectively. Logistic regressions indicated that women with GBV had 3.5 times the odds of lifetime PD; aORs ranged from 2.3 to 6.3 for Schizoid and Borderline PD, respectively. GBV was associated with 38% of all PD cases, and women who had experienced all three GBV types had 8.5 times the odds of PD compared to non-victims. Preventing GBV, particularly multi-type GBV, may be critical to reducing the burden of PDs. Clinicians working with GBV victims should consider assessing PDs and providing treatment targeting multiple outcomes.
