520			_aThis article presents the results of a study examining the prevalence and extent of domestic violence and the consequences of domestic violence for mental health outcomes in a birth cohort of New Zealand young adults studied at age 25 years. Data was collected from interviews with a total of 828 young people (437 women and 391 men) about domestic violence victimization and violence perpetration in their current or most recent partner relationship. Key findings of the study were: domestic conflict was present in 70% of relationships, with this conflict ranging from minor psychological abuse to severe assault; men and women reported similar experiences of victimization and perpetration of domestic violence; and exposure to domestic violence was significantly related to increased risks of major depression and suicidal ideation even after control for other factors that might be expected to cause depression. The study also showed that domestic violence is embedded in the context of disadvantage and difficulty through the life course. The results challenge the view that domestic violence arises predominantly from assault by males on women, and suggests the need for a broader perspective on domestic violence, and also a need for further research to reconcile the findings with predominant understandings of domestic violence in relation to gender. The Journal provided an opportunity for responses by two equally well published authors within the field of intimate partner abuse: Holtzworth-Munroe, "Male Versus Female Intimate Partner Violence: Putting Controversial Findings in Context", and Johnson, "Domestic Violence: It's Not About Gender - Or Is It?" These responses also feature within the same issue along with Fergusson, Horwood and Ridder's "Rejoinder". Record #3541
