泰国没有关于亲密伴侣暴力行为发生率的最新全国数据。这项研究拟采用世卫组织关于妇女健康和家庭暴力多国研究的标准化调查表，审查泰国4个地区亲密伴侣暴力行为的发生率。对2462名年龄在20-59岁之间的已婚或同居妇女进行了采访，了解她们在心理、身体、性暴力和/或男性伴侣控制行为方面的经历。研究发现，15%的受访者在一生中经历过心理、身体和/或性暴力，这表明每6名泰国妇女中就有1人面临过亲密伴侣的暴力。在过去12个月内报告亲密伴侣暴力的15%的妇女中，心理暴力最常见（60-68%），其次是性暴力（62-63%）和身体暴力（52-65%）。此外，面临各种形式控制行为的妇女比例从4.6%到29.3%不等。控制欲更强的男性更有可能虐待女性伴侣。调查结果显示，伴侣对妇女的暴力行为是泰国社会一个必须解决的重大公共卫生问题。
There is no recent national data on the prevalence of intimate partner violence in Thailand. This study proposed to examine the prevalence of intimate partner violence in 4 regions of Thailand by using a standardized questionnaire from the WHO multi country study on women's health and domestic violence. Two thousand four hundred and sixty-two married or cohabiting women aged 20-59 years were interviewed about their experiences of psychologically, physically, sexually violent, and/or controlling behaviors by their male partners. The study found that 15% of respondents had experienced psychological, physical, and/or sexual violence in their life time which suggests that 1 in 6 of Thai women have faced intimate partner violence. Of the 15% of women who reported intimate partner violence within the past 12 months, psychological violence was the most common (60-68%), followed by sexual violence (62-63%) and physical violence (52-65%). In addition, the percentage of women who faced various forms of controlling behaviors varied from 4.6% to 29.3%. Men who were more controlling were more likely to abuse their female partners. The results reveal that partner violence against women is a significant public health issue in Thai society that must be addressed.
