By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at NewsRx Law -- New research on Science is the subject of a report. According to news reporting originating in Baltimore, Maryland, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Assess the link between levels of armed conflict and postconflict intimate partner violence (IPV) experienced by women in Liberia. Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project data were used to measure conflict-related fatalities in districts in Liberia during the country’s civil war from 1999 to 2003.”
The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, “These data were linked to individual-level data from the 2007 Demographic and Health Survey, including past-year IPV. Multilevel logistic models accounting for the clustering of women within districts evaluated the relationship of conflict fatalities with postconflict past-year IPV. Additional conflict measures, including conflict events and cumulative years of conflict, were assessed. After adjusting for individual-level characteristics correlated with IPV, residence in a conflict fatality-affected district was associated with a 50% increase in risk of IPV (adjusted OR (aOR): 1.55, 95% CI 1.26 to 1.92). Women living in a district that experienced 4-5 cumulative years of conflict were also more likely to experience IPV (aOR 1.88, 95% CI 1.29 to 2.75). Residing in a conflict-affected district even 5 years after conflict was associated with postconflict IPV.”
According to the news reporters, the research concluded: “Recognising and preventing postconflict IPV violence is important to support long-term recovery in postconflict settings.”
