TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Viewing children's exposure to intimate partner violence through a developmental, social-ecological, and survivor lens: the current state of the field, challenges, and future directions JO - Violence against women A1 - Carlson, Juliana A1 - Voith, Laura A1 - Brown, Jejuana C. A1 - Holmes, Megan SP - 6 EP - 28 VL - 25 IS - 1 N2 - Although some children exposed to intimate partner violence (IPV) demonstrate resilience, the population-level health consequences of exposure across the lifespan and the related social and economic costs of such exposure are enormous. Using a developmental and social-ecological perspective, this article summarizes the literature examining the effects of IPV exposure on children, reviews key underlying mechanisms, and suggests the use of a public health prevention approach. It presents a discussion of next steps and identification of key challenges. One of the authors, a survivor of child exposure to IPV, presents a vignette that augments key sections and highlights children's resilience.
