Description:
This paper examines the trajectories of various types of intimate partner violence (IPV)—physical, sexual, threats, emotional and financial—over the course of women’s lives since age 15. Based on the analysis of whether IPV risk varies across phases of a relationship (beginning, middle, or end), we discuss implications for healthcare provides and organizations.
