Intimate Partner Violence during the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Empirical Examination Among Civilians and Veterans

Friday, May 27, 2022 · Chicago, IL

Oral · Clinical Science

Intimate partner violence (IPV) use and experience were substantial during the 2021 period of the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from 48-52% among Veterans and around 11% among U.S. civilians. Pandemic-related stressors, such as mental health and financial strain, contributed to IPV. A daily gratitude intervention may improve IPV and stressors.
