          Individual and contextual determinants of domestic violence in North India.

          We examined individual- and community-level influences on domestic violence in Uttar Pradesh, North India. Multilevel modeling was used to explore domestic violence outcomes among a sample of 4520 married men. Recent physical and sexual domestic violence was associated with the individual-level variables of childlessness, economic pressure, and intergenerational transmission of violence. A community environment of violent crime was associated with elevated risks of both physical and sexual violence. Community-level norms concerning wife beating were significantly related only to physical violence. Important similarities as well as differences were evident in risk factors for physical and sexual domestic violence. Higher socioeconomic status was found to be protective against physical but not sexual violence. Our results provide additional support for the importance of contextual factors in shaping women's risks of physical and sexual violence.

              A randomised controlled trial of empowerment training for Chinese abused pregnant women in Hong Kong.

              To evaluate the effectiveness of an empowerment intervention in reducing intimate partner violence (IPV) and improving health status. Randomised controlled trial. Antenatal clinic in a public hospital in Hong Kong. One hundred and ten Chinese pregnant women with a history of abuse by their intimate partners. Women were randomised to the experimental or control group. Experimental group women received empowerment training specially designed for Chinese abused pregnant women while the control group women received standard care for abused women. Data were collected at study entry and six weeks postnatal. IPV [on the Conflict Tactics Scale (CTS)], health-related quality of life (SF-36) and postnatal depression [Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS)]. Following the training, the experimental group had significantly higher physical functioning and had significantly improved role limitation due to physical problems and emotional problems. They also reported less psychological (but not sexual) abuse, minor (but not severe) physical violence and had significantly lower postnatal depression scores. However, they reported more bodily pain. An empowerment intervention specially designed for Chinese abused pregnant women was effective in reducing IPV and improving the health status of the women.
