Abstract
Research suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) increase the risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). Yet few studies have considered a broad range of concurrent risk factors for relationship violence in their analysis. This study used two waves of data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS), collected in 2001 and 2018-2020, to assess the cumulative effects of ACEs reported on during adolescence on physical IPV victimization 17 years later in adulthood among 855 respondents (369 men and 486 women), while also accounting for proximal risk factors. Results from logistic regression analyses revealed that the number of childhood adversities experienced significantly influenced physical IPV victimization, accounting for proximal risks. Both respondents' and partners' sociodemographic characteristics and histories of violence with previous partners were also significant correlates, as were respondents' psychological correlates and partners' substance use. We conclude that childhood adversity is significantly correlated with being physically victimized by a romantic partner in adulthood, even when more proximal risk factors for relationship violence are considered. Implications for practitioners working with individuals who have experienced partner violence are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.
期刊介绍：
Underpinned by a biopsychosocial approach, the Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma presents original research and prevention and treatment strategies for understanding and dealing with symptoms and disorders related to the psychological effects of trauma experienced by children and adolescents during childhood and where the impact of these experiences continues into adulthood. The journal also examines intervention models directed toward the individual, family, and community, new theoretical models and approaches, and public policy proposals and innovations. In addition, the journal promotes rigorous investigation and debate on the human capacity for agency, resilience and longer-term healing in the face of child and adolescent trauma. With a multidisciplinary approach that draws input from the psychological, medical, social work, sociological, public health, legal and education fields, the journal features research, intervention approaches and evidence-based programs, theoretical articles, specific review articles, brief reports and case studies, and commentaries on current and/or controversial topics. The journal also encourages submissions from less heard voices, for example in terms of geography, minority status or service user perspectives.
Among the topics examined in the Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma:
The effects of childhood maltreatment
Loss, natural disasters, and political conflict
Exposure to or victimization from family or community violence
Racial, ethnic, gender, sexual orientation or class discrimination
Physical injury, diseases, and painful or debilitating medical treatments
The impact of poverty, social deprivation and inequality
Barriers and facilitators on pathways to recovery
The Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma is an important resource for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and academics whose work is centered on children exposed to traumatic events and adults exposed to traumatic events as children.
