“…The CTS2 intersperses items depicting overt situations of violence for settling conflicts between intimate partners with socially acceptable ones, thus increasing its acceptability (16) . The instrument's adequacy has been ratified by the auspicious psychometric evaluations carried out in different contexts, be it in Brazil (18)(19)(20) or elsewhere (48)(49)(50) . The option for collecting data after childbirth was another positive point, since applying the instrument during the postpartum period may have helped to detect situations of violence occurring or intensifying right at the end of pregnancy (51) .…”

Objective: To investigate the role of severe physical violence during pregnancy (SPVP) between intimate partners in early cessation of exclusive breast-feeding (EBF). Design: A health services survey. The revised Conflict Tactics Scale was used to characterize SPVP; premature breast-feeding cessation was identified using a current status data approach, which was based on the information reported from food recall during the preceding 7 d. The cumulative hazard function was estimated by complementary log-log transformation models, which allowed the ensuing estimation of early breast-feeding cessation rates in different age groups and the ratio of rates of weaning between women exposed and not exposed to violence. Setting: Five large public primary health-care facilities of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Subjects: The sample comprised 811 randomly selected mothers of children under 5 months of age who were waiting to be consulted. Results: SPVP is an independent risk factor of cessation of EBF since, after controlling for socio-economic, demographic, reproductive and lifestyle variables, women exposed to violence presented an incidence density that was 31 % higher than those who were not exposed (hazard ratio 5 1?30, 95 % CI 1?01, 1?69). Conclusions: The findings corroborate the hypothesis that SPVP is an important risk factor for EBF. This indicates the need for incentives to adequately train healthcare personnel in dealing with lactating women in order to gain a broader view of breast-feeding beyond the biological aspects of lactation, including the maternal psychological dimension.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate physical intimate partner violence during gestation as an independent risk factor for low quality of prenatal care. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was carried out at three public maternity wards of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro (Southeastern Brazil). The 528 puerperal women included in the study were selected by simple random sampling from all babies born at term in 2000. Prenatal care information was collected through the pregnant woman's card and face-to-face interviews. The Kotelchuck index was employed to assess the quality of prenatal care. In order to identify violence situations, the Brazilian version of the instrument Revised Confl ict Tactics Scales was used. Non-conditional logistic regression was used to assess the effect of exposure, after controlling for confounding variables. RESULTS:Even after adjustment for socioeconomic, demographic, reproductive, and couple's lifestyle variables, physical intimate partner violence during gestation remained associated with low quality of prenatal care. Women exposed to physical violence during gestation had 2.2 times more chance of presenting inadequate prenatal care compared to those without history of physical violence. CONCLUSIONS:These fi ndings point to the need of identifying family confl ict situations since the beginning of prenatal care in order to address the issue and enable higher adherence to follow-up among victimized pregnant women. DESCRIPTORS:Pregnancy. Battered Women. Spouse Abuse. Violence Against Women. Prenatal Care. Domestic Violence.

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of project...
