Abstract

Despite initial evidence that intimate partner violence (IPV) may have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, no study has examined the rate of bidirectional IPV during this time. The current study identified higher prevalence of bidirectional than unidirectional IPV in a sample recruited during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
