TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Intimate partner violence and alcohol, drug, and mental disorders among American Indian women in primary care JO - American Indian and Alaska Native mental health research A1 - Duran, Bonnie A1 - Oetzel, John A1 - Parker, Tassy A1 - Malcoe, Lorraine Halinka A1 - Lucero, Julie A1 - Jiang, Yongwen SP - 11 EP - 27 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - The relationship of intimate partner violence (IPV) with mental disorders was investigated among 234 American Indian/Alaska Native female primary care patients. Results indicated that unadjusted prevalence ratios for severe physical or sexual abuse (relative to no IPV) were significant for anxiety, PTSD, mood, and any mental disorder. Adjusted prevalence ratios showed severe physical or sexual IPV to be associated with any mood disorder. Patterns of IPV and mental health have implications for detection and service utilization.
