ABSTRACT
ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine correlates of reproductive coercion (RC) among a sample of college women in abusive relationships. Participants:
354 college students reporting a recent history of intimate partner violence (IPV).Methods:
This study examines baseline data from a randomized controlled trial testing effectiveness of an interactive safety decision aid (myPlan).Results:
Almost a quarter (24.3%) of the sample reported RC. Associated factors included races other than White (p = 0.019), relationship instability (p = 0.022), missing class due to relationship problems (p = 0.001), IPV severity (p < 0.001), technology abuse (p < 0.001), traumatic brain injury-associated events (p < 0.001), and depression (p = 0.024).Conclusions:
RC was a significant predictor of depression, with implications for providers working with abused college women regarding the need for mental health services concurrent with IPV/RC services. A larger proportion of women who experienced RC sought help from a healthcare provider for contraception, which suggests intervention opportunities for college health providers.Palabras clave
