abstract="This study examines social risk factors associated with wife abuse in the Dominican Republic. Using the 2002 Dominican Republic Demographic and Health Survey data, married women ages 15-49, were selected (N=3,779) for analysis. The dependent variable is wife abuse and independent variables are age, education of wife/husband, rural/urban residence, religion, work status, pregnancy, and husband's alcohol use. The current study shows a decline in wife abuse among women in age groups 30-34, 35-39, and 45-49. Other risk factors are respondents' work status, lack of religious practices, and husband's alcohol use. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) (journal abstract)<p />",
