Turning points: breaking intergenerational cycles of intimate partner abuse and social adversity

据估计，亲密伴侣虐待(IPA)在女性一生中的某个阶段会影响到四分之一的女性，每年还会影响到至少100万澳大利亚儿童的生活。这项研究将调查在怀孕期间和产后前12个月暴露于亲密伴侣虐待的情况在多大程度上预测儿童中期的结果。这项研究将为更好地针对和定制早期干预战略提供基础，以支持有不良后果风险的儿童。

Intimate partner abuse (IPA) is estimated to affect one in four women at some stage in their lives, and to impact on the lives of at least one million Australian children annually. This study will investigate the extent to which exposure to intimate partner abuse during pregnancy and in the first 12 months postpartum predicts child outcomes in middle childhood. The study will provide foundations for better targeting and tailoring of early intervention strategies to support children at risk of adverse outcomes.
