But the distribution of partner violence is highly uneven, with a prevalence of less than 4% in the past 12 months in many high-income countries compared with at least 40% in some low-income settings. Little is known about the factors that drive the geographical distribution of partner violence or how macro-level factors might combine with individual-level factors to affect individual women's risk of intimate partner violence. We aimed to assess the role that women's status and other gender-related factors might have in defining levels of partner violence among settings. (from the authors' abstract). A New Zealand survey is included in this data analysis. Record #4710 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(15)00013-3 ER -
