“…[21][22][23] These behaviors may include contraceptive sabotage, pregnancy coercion, and intimidation or pressure with regard to reproductive decision making. 21,24,25 Since reproductive health and decision making directly affect women's bodies, it is clear that reproductive coercion represents a potential source of intimate partner trauma for women.…”

Project Connect training aims to reduce barriers to screening for and intervening with women with histories of intimate partner violence and reproductive coercion. This study sought to assess the effectiveness of trainings, provider facility with Project Connect tools, and areas for improvement in a pilot state. Results indicated that providers found training useful, and those in supervisory roles particularly appreciated the universal tools and skill set given to participants. Providing these tools supports the provision of trauma-informed care. Areas for improvement included increased emphasis on initiating screening, enhancing training for different types of providers, and developing follow-up training.

“…Women of reproductive age are at highest risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and experience poor reproductive health outcomes including unintended pregnancy [1–4], miscarriage [5] and preterm labor as a result of violence victimization [6]. Researchers have suggested several mechanisms that may underlie the association between IPV and poor sexual and reproductive health including forced or coerced sex and diminished self-efficacy to negotiate condom use with an abusive partner [7–10].…”

Objective Identification and refinement of psychometric properties of the Reproductive Coercion Scale (RCS) for use in survey research and clinical practice. Study Design Young women ages 16–29 seeking services in 24 Pennsylvania and 5 California family planning clinics completed questionnaires. Data were pooled for analysis (n=4,674), and underlying domains were assessed using Horn’s Parallel Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Multidimensional item response theory was used to refine the scale and assess reliability and validity of a short-form RCS. Results The full, 9-item RCS had two underlying domains: pregnancy coercion and condom manipulation. Five items were retained in the short form: three about pregnancy coercion (e.g. “told you not to use birth control…”) and two for condom manipulation (e.g., “taken off the condom while you were having sex…”; one of these items is the combination of two original items on damaging the condom that were combined because of similar statistical properties and face validity and a third item on removing the condom was retained on its own). Recent reproductive coercion was reported by 6.7% and 6.3% of the sample with the full and short-form RCS, respectively. Characteristics of women reporting reproductive coercion were similar with both forms. Conclusion Findings indicate that reproductive coercion includes pregnancy coercion and deliberate manipulation of condoms to promote pregnancy. Moreover, women experience RC across a continuum of severity. We selected items that varied in RC severity and discrimination to generate a 5-item short-form RCS for survey research and clinical practice.

“…For example, maternal smoking during pregnancy has been shown to be associated with lower levels of education and socioeconomic status [27,28]. Similarly, a history of artificial abortion, especially when repeated, may imply maternal experience with IPV [29][30][31]. Because IPV was not directly assessed in the pregnancy notification, the percentage of the artificial abortions which are related to IPV is unknown in this study.…”

Identifying risk factors from pregnancy is essential for preventing child maltreatment. However, few studies have explored prenatal risk factors assessed at pregnancy registration. This study aimed to identify prenatal risk factors for child maltreatment during the first three years of life using population-level survey data from pregnancy notification forms. This prospective cohort study targeted all mothers and their infants enrolled for a 3- to 4-month-old health check between October 2013 and February 2014 in five municipalities in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, and followed them until the child turned 3 years old. Administrative records of registration with Regional Councils for Children Requiring Care (RCCRC), which is suggestive of child maltreatment cases, were linked with survey data from pregnancy notification forms registered at municipalities (n = 893). Exact logistic regression was used for analysis. A total of 11 children (1.2%) were registered with RCCRC by 3 years of age. Unmarried marital status, history of artificial abortion, and smoking during pregnancy were significantly associated with child maltreatment. Prenatal risk scores calculated as the sum of these prenatal risk factors, ranging from 0 to 7, showed high predictive power (area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.805; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.660–0.950) at a cut-off score of 2 (sensitivity = 72.7%, specificity = 83.2%). These findings suggest that variables from pregnancy notification forms may be predictors of the risk for child maltreatment by the age of three.
