| 520 | |a Intimate partner violence (IPV), commonly accompanied by controlling behavior, is a serious public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Data from women (n = 37,115) aged 15 to 49 years who completed the Demographic Health Survey’s (DHS) domestic violence module in eight countries in sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo [DRC], Côte d’Ivoire, Namibia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Zambia) between 2011 and 2015 were obtained. DHS questions assessed lifetime physical, emotional, and sexual violence (ever vs. never). Controlling behavior was measured by a revised Conflict Tactics Scale. Multivariate logistic regression examined the association between controlling behavior and IPV adjusting for all covariates, including age, education, marital status, wealth, urban/rural setting, and occupation. An interaction term was included to evaluate the consistency of effect estimates across countries. In all, 45.60% of women reported experiencing one or more forms of IPV (physical, sexual, or emotional violence) in their lifetime, ranging from 31.16% in Côte d’Ivoire to 57.37% in Cameroon. Women who reported controlling behavior by a spouse/partner were more likely to have experienced lifetime physical (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [3.31, 3.85], sexual (AOR = 3.98, CI = [3.47, 4.57]) or emotional (AOR = 3.52, CI = [3.22, 3.85]) violence than women who did not report controlling behavior. Women who reported controlling behavior were also more likely to have experienced one (AOR = 2.57, CI = [2.36, 2.81]) or two/three types (AOR = 5.34, CI = [4.80, 5.94]) of violence. AORs did not significantly differ across countries. Further research is needed to evaluate whether policies, programs, and education aimed at preventing or modifying controlling behavior may reduce IPV. | ||
