abstract="The purpose of this study was to assess factors associated with chronicity of intimate partner violence (IPV) among pregnant substance abusers. One hundred fourteen (n = 114) pregnant women entering an inpatient, detoxification unit voluntarily agreed to participate in a study about women's health and well-being. Face-to-face interviews were used for data collection. A multiple linear regression assessed the relationship between background characteristics, substance use, and IPV chronicity. Protective factors, which were associated with reduced chronicity of IPV, were: most recent/current intimate partner fathered pregnancy, currently in a relationship with most recent/current intimate partner, greater social support, and increasing age. Childhood sexual abuse was associated with increased chronicity of IPV. <br><br>RESULTS suggest important prevention, intervention, and treatment implications for this vulnerable population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
