“…Previous studies have shown differences by age (Brown et al, 2013a; Schussler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2014; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 2009), gender (Kelly-Irving et al, 2013; Liu et al, 2013; Roxburgh and Macarthur, 2014), race/ethnicity (Brown et al, 2013a; Schussler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2014; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 2009; Roxburgh and Macarthur, 2014), income (Brown et al, 2013a; Schussler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2014), education (Schussler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2014; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and 2009), marital status (Brown et al, 2013a; Schussler-Fiorenza Rose et al, 2014), and insurance status (Brown et al, 2013a), associated with ACEs. Statistically significant differences by age (Brown et al, 2013b; Palmetto et al, 2013), sex (Clark et al, 2014; Cui et al, 2013; Lovestad and Krantz, 2012; Menard et al, 2014), race/ethnicity (Palmetto et al, 2013; Clark et al, 2014; Lipsky et al, 2012; Stephenson et al, 2011), income (Brown et al, 2013b; Edwards et al, 2014), education (Brown et al, 2013b; Stephenson et al, 2011), marital status (Brown et al, 2013b; Cui et al, 2013), and insurance status (Brown et al, 2013b) were associated with IPV. Therefore, the proposed study controlled for the following sociodemographic characteristics as confounders namely: age, race/ethnicity, income, education, marital status and insurance status.…”
