The purpose of this research is to identify sociodemographic factors related to psychological and physical intimate partner violence (IPV) across the first year of the pandemic in the United States. Using a novel data set of four waves of data collected over the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, a series of generalized linear mixed models were performed to determine sociodemographic explanatory factors of the relationship between psychological and physical IPV over time.

A systematic review of the effectiveness of intervention programs for perpetrators and victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) was conducted. Inclusion criteria for studies included publication in a peer-reviewed journal, a representative, community, or clinical sample, written in English, and conducted in the United States. A total of 40 articles were included. Comparisons to a prior review highlight developments in research in the past 10 years.

A systematic review of primary prevention programs for intimate partner violence (IPV) was conducted. Inclusion criteria for studies included publication in a peer-reviewed journal, a representative, community, or clinical sample, written in English, and conducted in the United States. A total of 24 articles were included. All studies included some kind of intervention, such as knowledge and/or behavioral, to change outcomes in IPV perpetration and/or victimization. Of the 24 studies, 16 used experimental designs, with the majority focused on adolescent samples (n = 14).

The purpose of this research is to determine rates of change in intimate partner violence (IPV) across the first year of the pandemic in the U.S. and the relationship between IPV and depression symptomology and perceived stress.
