Although domestic violence is an increasing public health concern in developing countries, evidence from representative, community-based studies is limited. In a survey of 5109 women of reproductive age in the Rakai District of Uganda, 30% of women had experienced physical threats or physical abuse from their current partner--20% during the year before the survey. Three of five women who reported recent physical threats or abuse reported three or more specific acts of violence during the preceding year, and just under a half reported injuries as a result. Analysis of risk factors highlights the pivotal roles of the male partner's alcohol consumption and his perceived human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk in increasing the risk of male against female domestic violence. Most respondents--70% of men and 90% of women--viewed beating of the wife or female partner as justifiable in some circumstances, posing a central challenge to preventing violence in such settings.
尽管家庭暴力在发展中国家日益成为一个公共卫生问题，但来自具有代表性的社区研究的证据有限。在对乌干达拉凯区5109名育龄妇女的调查中，30%的妇女曾遭受现任伴侣的身体威胁或身体虐待，其中20%是在调查前一年发生的。在报告近期遭受身体威胁或虐待的五名妇女中，有三名报告在前一年曾遭受三次或更多次具体暴力行为，且近半数报告因此受伤。对风险因素的分析凸显了男性伴侣饮酒及其感知的人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）风险在增加男性对女性家庭暴力风险方面的关键作用。大多数受访者（70%的男性和90%的女性）认为在某些情况下殴打妻子或女性伴侣是合理的，这对在这种环境中预防暴力构成了核心挑战。
