abstract="The purpose of the study was to examine the rates and inter-relationships among violence receipt, alcohol use problems, and depression in women seeking prenatal care. While waiting for their prenatal care appointment, women (n = 1054) completed measures of past year partner and non-partner violence receipt, alcohol misuse (TWEAK and quantity and frequency of alcohol use in past year), and depression (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale - CESD and prior history of depression). Over 30% of women reported either violence receipt, alcohol use problems or depression risk. Significant inter-relationships among all measured risk variables were found. Although violence receipt was significantly related to alcohol misuse, cigarette use, less education, and scoring above the cutoff on the CESD (>/= 16) was most strongly associated with violence. Practitioners should be well-equipped to provide assessment, interventions, or referrals as needed to the high numbers of women encountered in prenatal care settings experiencing psychosocial and behavioral problems that may affect their pregnancy.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
