Data were collected as part of the Pacific Islands Families (PIF) Study. This study follows a cohort of Pacific infants born in Auckland, New Zealand during 2000. Mothers were interviewed when their children were six weeks old. A total of 1088 mothers cohabiting in married or de-facto partnerships were questioned about IPV and whether their pregnancy had been planned. The Conflict Tactics Scale was used to measure IPV. The authors found that women identified as victims of physical violence were more likely to report an unplanned pregnancy than those who were not victims (68.7% vs 55.1%). A number of limitations to the study are discussed. The authors conclude that the findings of this study suggest an association between IPV and unplanned pregnancy in the Pacific birth cohort.
