AB The current study examined past year intimate partner violence (IPV; physical violence, coercive control, reproductive control, and psychological aggression) and sexual victimization on self-reported physical and mental health. Doing so provides a proxy longitudinal analysis of victimization on self-reported health outcomes. Data were from the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, a nationally representative sample of U.S. men and women. Given the differential risk of victimization, gender specific analyses were conducted. Findings from the logistic regression ( N = 13,699) of the full sample (i.e., both women and men in analyses) indicated past year victimization was not significantly associated with self-reported poor/fair physical health. Among the full sample and the female-only sample ( N = 7433), past year coercive control increased the odds of self-reported poor/fair mental health. The remaining types of victimization were not associated with self-reported mental health among the full sample or female respondents. Past year victimization was not associated with self-reported physical or mental health for male respondents ( N = 6266). Directions for future research and policy implications related to interventions within healthcare settings are discussed.
