Improving women's health and well-being by exploring the impact of emotional, physical, and sexual intimate partner violence.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOver the past two decades, several studies have highlighted the harmful mental and physical effects of intimate partner violence (IPV) on its victims. However, more repeated measures research is needed to observe the long-term health and emotional effects of IPV. This includes how these impacts change when violence is reduced or ceases, such as when the perpetrator receives intervention. Further limitations of existing research include the lack of data on abuse frequency, severity, and impacts linked with specific forms of abuse.
objectivesThis research explores the impacts on IPV victims whose abusive (ex-)partners participate in perpetrator programs (PPs). It aims to identify distinct patterns of impacts associated with different IPV types and pinpoint the most damaging IPV behaviors through repeated measures data.
designLongitudinal.
methodsIn total, 349 heterosexual women, who were (ex-)partners of men enrolled in multiple European gender-based violence PPs, completed the Impact Outcome Monitoring Toolkit questionnaire.
resultsThe results showed that emotionally abusive behavior and-especially coercive control and online violence-were highly prevalent and had profound, alarming impacts, including self-harm and suicidal ideation. Over two-thirds of the sample reported experiencing sadness as a result of the violence endured, which was identified as a significant impact. Moreover, isolation had a common effect on emotional and physical violence. Recognizing threats and their damaging effects on victims has emerged as crucial because of their impact on victims. Finally, sexual violence, refusing to use contraception and forcing sex were the most damaging behaviors. Interestingly, our study found specific impacts of extreme abusive behavior depending on the type of abuse.
conclusionThis study clearly supports the statement that the impact of abusive behavior can persist after it ends, as half of the victims no longer experiencing violence at the end of the PP reported at least one impact.
