520 _aThis journal article reports the findings of a study aimed at outlining the use of contraception among a representative sample of the New Zealand women, and exploring associations with intimate partner violence (IPV), and contraception and condom use. The survey was part of New Zealand Violence Against Women Study. The survey method was face-to-face interview with a random sample of 2790 women who had ever had sexual intercourse. Participant age range was between 18 and 64 years and the survey was conducted in two regions of New Zealand: Auckland (urban) and north Waikato (rural). The data was analysed quantitatively. The author's findings are that almost all women had used contraception at some point in their life. Almost one half of all women surveyed between 18 and 49 years were currently using methods of contraception. A significant geographic variation in contraceptive use and methods was found. The authors found that women who had ever experienced IPV were significantly more likely to have used contraception than women who have not experienced IPV (91% vs 85.2%), and to have had partners who refused to use condoms or prevented women from using contraception (5.4% vs 1.3%). The authors argue that partner refusal may be a key indicator of IPV and that their findings emphasise the importance of family violence screening at routine health consultations.
