Abstract
The link between intimate partner violence and mental disorders has been tenuous in the college or university setting. This cross-sectional study found that in a sample of 498 university students, intimate partner abuse was experienced by 24 individuals (4.8%) and was linked to greater anxiety (p=0.001) and depression severity (p=0.001).
