Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Violence against women is a prevalent, preventable public health crisis. COVID-19 stressors and pandemic countermeasures may have exacerbated violence against women. Cisgender college women are particularly vulnerable to violence. Thus, we examined the prevalence and correlates of verbal/physical violence experienced and perpetrated among cisgender women enrolled at a New York City college over one year during the COVID-19 pandemic.
UNASSIGNED: From a prospective cohort study, we analyzed data self-reported quarterly (T1, T2, T3, T4) between December 2020 and December 2021. Using generalized estimated equations (GEE) and logistic regression, we identified correlates of experienced and perpetrated violence among respondents who were partnered or cohabitating longitudinally and at each quarter, respectively. Multivariable models included all variables with unadjusted parameters X 2 p-value ≤0.05.
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of experienced violence was 52% (T1: N = 513), 30% (T2: N = 305), 33% (T3: N = 238), and 17% (T4: N = 180); prevalence of perpetrated violence was 38%, 17%, 21%, and 9%. Baseline correlates of experienced violence averaged over time (GEE) included race, living situation, loneliness, and condom use; correlates of perpetrated violence were school year, living situation, and perceived social support. Quarter-specific associations corroborated population averages: living with family members and low social support were associated with experienced violence at all timepoints except T4. Low social support was associated with higher odds of perpetrated violence at T1/T3. Other/Multiracial identity was associated with higher odds of violence experience at T3.
UNASSIGNED: Living situation was associated with experienced and perpetrated violence in all analyses, necessitating further exploration of household conditions, family dynamics, and interpersonal factors. The protective association of social support with experienced and perpetrated violence also warrants investigation into forms of social engagement and cohesion. Racial differences in violence also require examination. Our findings can inform university policy development on violence and future violence research. Within or beyond epidemic conditions, universities should assess and strengthen violence prevention and support systems for young women by developing programming to promote social cohesion.
摘要:
对妇女的暴力行为很普遍,可预防的公共卫生危机。COVID-19压力源和大流行对策可能加剧了对妇女的暴力行为。女大学生特别容易受到暴力侵害。因此,我们调查了在COVID-19大流行期间,在纽约一所大学就读于一年以上的顺性女性中所经历和实施的言语/身体暴力的患病率和相关性.
来自一项前瞻性队列研究,我们分析了2020年12月至2021年12月的季度数据(T1,T2,T3,T4)。使用广义估计方程(GEE)和逻辑回归,我们确定了纵向和每个季度有伙伴关系或同居的受访者中经历过的和实施过的暴力的相关性,分别。多变量模型包括参数X2p值≤0.05的所有变量。
经历过的暴力的患病率为52%(T1:N=513),30%(T2:N=305),33%(T3:N=238),和17%(T4:N=180);暴力行为的患病率为38%,17%,21%,和9%。经历暴力的基线相关性随时间平均(GEE)包括种族,生活状况,孤独,和避孕套的使用;实施暴力的相关因素是学年,生活状况,和感知的社会支持。特定季度的协会证实了人口平均值:与家庭成员生活和低社会支持与在除T4以外的所有时间点经历的暴力有关。低社会支持与T1/T3发生暴力的几率较高有关。其他/多种族身份与T3时更高的暴力经历几率相关。
在所有分析中,生活状况与经历和实施的暴力有关,需要进一步探索家庭条件,家庭动态,和人际因素。社会支持与有经验和实施暴力的保护性联系也需要对社会参与和凝聚力的形式进行调查。暴力方面的种族差异也需要检查。我们的发现可以为大学制定有关暴力和未来暴力研究的政策提供信息。在流行病条件之内或之外,大学应通过制定方案以促进社会凝聚力,评估和加强针对年轻妇女的暴力预防和支持系统。
