Identifying specific risk factors for intimate partner violence amongst women refugees during and after pregnancy: associations with mental health and capacity for resettlement.

亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）已被确定为澳大利亚和全世界社会严重关切的公共卫生流行病。越来越多的人一致认为，有一些特定的社会心理因素，包括过去遭受的创伤，可能使难民背景的妇女面临IPV的风险，特别是在定居期间。对所有妇女来说，怀孕是一个特别脆弱的时期，有证据表明，怀孕期间患IPV的风险增加。

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has been identified as a public health epidemic of critical concern to Australia and to societies worldwide. There is a growing consensus that there are specific psychosocial factors including past exposure to trauma that may place women from refugee background at risk of IPV, particularly during settlement. Pregnancy is a particular period of vulnerability for all women, and there is evidence that the risk of IPV increases during pregnancy.
