“…Valera & Kucyi, 2017). People who experience repeated brain injuries, before the brain is able to recover from the initial trauma, experience what is known as “secondary trauma” (Monahan, 2019) or second-impact syndrome (Banks, 2007), and are at high risk for neurological deficits, depression, suicide, and Alzheimer-like symptoms (Campbell et al, 2018; McKee et al, 2013; Murray et al, 2016; Sahler & Greenwald, 2012; St Ivany & Schminkey, 2019).…”

“…Research shows that the majority of BI that IPV survivors experience is mild TBI and is the most underreported type of BI (Campbell et al, 2018; Goldin et al, 2016). Among IPV survivors, these brain injuries are likely to be repeated (Goldin et al, 2016; Haag et al, 2019; St Ivany & Schminkey, 2019). One study showed that women may experience 3 to 4 hits to the head per week (E.…”

“…Researchers have outlined a cycle of transmission over the life-course starting with TBIs that might be acquired in childhood from sports, an accident, or abuse. Women might enter into abusive relationships and acquire further TBIs and increasing TBI symptoms (St Ivany & Schminkey, 2019). Repeated mild BI, especially before the resolution of a previous BI, can result in result in severe deficits and long-term damage (E.…”

The study examined rates of possible brain injury among survivors of intimate partner violence. Of the 171 women screened, 91% indicated they had been hit in the head or strangled, and 31% reported it happened more than six times in their life. Only 35% of women who were hit in the head or strangled received medical treatment, and 64% reported losing consciousness or experienced a period of being dazed and confused. Organizations serving intimate partner violence survivors should routinely screen survivors for brain injury so they can obtain timely referrals for neurorehabilitation services to improve their quality of life.

“…Most perpetrators have been found with histories of brain injury and trauma that has diverted typical cognitive, emotional, and somatic development (Brain Injury Australia, 2018 ; Lifshitz et al, 2019 ; St. Ivany & Schminkey, 2019 ). Brain injury has also been linked to aggression (Buckley et al, 2017 ).…”

“…Intersectionality and compounding impacts of family violence and IPV incidences interact and produce health inequalities (Bowleg, 2012 ; St Ivany et al, 2018 ), with repeated cycles of abuse as a significant qualitative finding when instability and structural violence is taken into account as a result of childhood trauma and historical state intervention/control (St. Ivany & Schminkey, 2019 ). However, research does not include the study of survivors who have not accessed services but are living with mild but recurrent brain injury with a frequency and intensity that may never be captured, and likely exceed reports for soldiers and athletes (Lifshitz et al, 2019 ; Nemeth et al, 2019 ; Prince & Bruhns, 2017 ).…”

Strengthening the Connection Between Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and Family Violence: The Importance of Ongoing Monitoring, Research and Inclusive Terminology

Family violence (FV) harms communities worldwide so FV prevention strategies and effective responses are urgently needed. This article reports on FV apparent in a study which explored the experiences of people with both ABI and justice system encounters in Victoria, Australia. One hundred interviews and one focus group consulted people with ABI, their families and carers, and various stakeholder groups in the Victorian justice system in Australia. Qualitative content analysis determined dominant themes and sub-themes and the less common themes. Inductive interpretive content analysis identified themes commonly found in previous published research and themes that appeared unique to, or unanticipated in, our data, such as the FV theme upon which this article focuses. Our findings reveal that FV has adversely affected many people with ABI who came into contact with Victoria’s justice system. Further, as ABI and FV often co-occur with substance abuse, mental health problems, socio-economic and many other significant disadvantages, for some FV perpetrators with an ABI, their ABI symptoms and characteristic co-morbidities may be a mitigating factor in their offending. The connection between ABI and family violence emerged as a troubling research theme. Indeed, the impact of FV on too many of our participants with an ABI compels us to call for further related research and secondary prevention programs targeted at FV victims, and offenders, living with ABI. An intersectional understanding of family violence and TBI/ABI in social ecological contexts is required to better understand brain injury at both individual and population levels.

ObjectiveTo examine whether disabled women are more likely to report accepting attitudes towards intimate partner violence (IPV) than non‐disabled women, and whether male partners of disabled women are more likely to accept IPV than male partners of non‐disabled women.MethodsSecondary analysis of nationally representative cross‐sectional data from the Demographic Health Survey (DHS) in nine countries. Logistic regression examined the relationship between (1) women's disability and IPV acceptance (n = 114 695) and (2) women's disability and their male partners' IPV acceptance (n = 20 566); pooled and country‐specific estimates were calculated.ResultsIPV acceptance ranged from 5% to 80% among women and from 5% to 56% among male partners. Overall, disabled women were more accepting of IPV than non‐disabled women (pooled adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08–1.20), with country‐specific aOR ranging from 1.05 to 1.63. Overall, disabled women's male partners had higher likelihood of IPV acceptance than non‐disabled women's partners (pooled aOR 1.13, 95% CI 1.00–1.28).; country‐specific estimates varied (aOR range from 0.56 to 1.40).ConclusionDisabled women and their male partners had higher IPV acceptance compared with non‐disabled women and their male partners. More research is needed to better understand this association, including disability‐associated discrimination. Findings underscore the importance of more research with disabled women and their partners to address IPV.
