520 _aThe main findings, recently published in the open access journal BMC Public Health are that: • despite wide variations in the prevalence of IPV, many factors affect IPV risk similarly across sites. • as far as IPV is concerned, high socio-economic status (SES) and formal marriage offer protection to women. • alcohol abuse, cohabitation, young age, attitudes supportive of wife beating, having outside sexual partners and growing up with domestic violence increase the risk of IPV. • similarly, experiencing or perpetrating other forms of violence in adulthood increase the risk of IPV. • since risk of IPV is highest in younger women, schools are an important setting for primary prevention activities. • particularly, schools have the potential to address issues of relationships, gender roles, power and coercion within existing youth violence and bullying programmes.
