SP - 137 EP - 142 VL - 20 IS - 1 N2 - The number of American children living in partner-violent households was estimated from a nationally representative sample of 1,615 dual-parent households. Approximately 15.5 million American children were estimated to live in families in which partner violence had occurred at least once in the previous year, with 7 million estimated to live in families in which severe partner violence had occurred. The prevalence of partner violence was higher among couples with children than among couples without children. LA - SN - 0893-3200 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0893-3200.20.1.137 ID - ref1 ER -
