Abstract:
Refugee women with children are at increased risk of intimate partner violence (IPV) and adverse mental health outcomes. This paper examines (1) the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 412 Syrian refugee women with children outside camps in Jordan who experienced past-year physical and/or sexual IPV, and (2) the relationship between IPV and mental health among the women. Multivariable logistic regression model results showed that women with past-year IPV had significantly higher odds of anxiety, depression, and PTSD versus women without past-year IPV. Service use, barriers to care, and implications for public health and social work interventions are discussed.
