当前分析的目的是在一项针对肯尼亚年轻女性的全国调查中阐明童年暴力经历与成年后身体亲密伴侣暴力之间的联系。2010年，我们在肯尼亚进行了针对儿童的暴力调查，收集了13至24岁男性和女性（N = 2928）的回顾性报告。这里的分析集中在18-24岁曾经有过亲密伴侣的女性身上（n = 566）。如果年轻的肯尼亚妇女在成年早期经历过任何儿童期暴力（包括性暴力、情感暴力或身体暴力），她们遭受身体亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的几率在统计上更高[调整后的优势比(AOR) = 3.1 CI: 1.2-7.9, p = 0.02]，任何儿童期性暴力（AOR = 2.5, CI 1.3-4.9, p = 0.006），或不希望完成的性行为（包括18岁之前的强迫或强迫性行为）（AOR = 4.3, CI: 2.3-8.3, p < 0.0001）。儿童时期遭受两种（AOR = 3.9, CI: 1.2-12.2, p = 0.02）或三种（AOR = 5.0, CI: 1.4-18.1, p = 0.01）类型的暴力也与成年后经历身体IPV的几率显著增加有关。儿童期暴力与年轻女性成年后身体IPV的几率增加有关；努力防止对儿童的暴力行为，并向成年幸存者提供适当的照顾和支持，对于中断这种暴力循环至关重要
The aim of the current analysis is to elucidate the link between childhood experiences of violence and physical intimate partner violence in young adulthood in a national survey of young Kenyan women. In 2010, we conducted the Violence against Children Survey in Kenya, collecting retrospective reports from 13 to 24 year old males and females (N = 2928). The analysis presented here focused on females aged 18-24 who ever had an intimate partner (n = 566). Young Kenyan women had statistically higher odds of experiencing physical intimate partner violence (IPV) in young adulthood if they had experienced any childhood violence (including sexual, emotional, or physical) [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.1 CI: 1.2-7.9, p = 0.02)], any childhood sexual violence (AOR = 2.5, CI 1.3-4.9, p = 0.006), or unwanted completed sex (including pressured or forced sex prior to age 18) (AOR = 4.3, CI: 2.3-8.3, p < 0.0001). Exposure to two (AOR = 3.9, CI: 1.2-12.2, p = 0.02) or three (AOR = 5.0, CI: 1.4-18.1, p = 0.01) types of violence in childhood was also associated with a significantly higher odds of experiencing adult physical IPV. Childhood violence is associated with increased odds of adult physical IPV among young women; efforts to prevent violence against children and provide appropriate care and support to adult survivors are critical to interrupt this cycle of violence
