Title of project:
Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse and cardiovascular health in young adults
Proposal summary:
Intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA), refers to any behaviour within an intimate relationship that causes physical, psychological, or sexual harm to those in the relationship. There is evidence that IPVA in older adult relationships is associated with poor mental and physical health. However, very little is known about the effects of IPVA in young adult relationships, and particularly in UK populations and for physical health. The aim of this project is to estimate the association between IPVA during young adulthood and cardiovascular health in the following years, in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children.
Impact of research:
This work will provide a better understanding of the effects of IPVA on later health, when the IPVA takes place in young adult relationships, and in a UK population in particular. These findings will be of interest to public health practitioners and researchers in the fields of domestic and dating violence.
