The article estimates the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) by type and severity in population-based samples from three countries of the former Soviet Union (fSU). The article utilized nationally representative data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) conducted in Azerbaijan (2006), Moldova (2005), and Ukraine (2007). Respondents were selected using stratified multistage cluster sampling. The sample included ever-married (or cohabitating) females of reproductive age (15-49 years old); weighted sample n = 3,847 in Azerbaijan, n = 4,321 in Moldova, and n = 2,355 in Ukraine. The analysis used multinomial survey logistic regression adjusting for the sampling design and sampling weights. Ten percent of ever-partnered women in Azerbaijan and Ukraine and 20% in Moldova ever experienced physical IPV (without sexual) from their most recent husband or cohabitating partner; 3% of women in Azerbaijan and Ukraine and 5% in Moldova experienced sexual IPV (with or without physical), and 2% of women in Azerbaijan, 3% in Ukraine, and 6% in Moldova experienced violence resulting in severe physical injuries from their most recent partner. In all three countries physical, sexual, and injurious IPV was higher among formerly married women. Compared to women with above secondary education, women with secondary education or below demonstrated higher risk for physical IPV (in Moldova and Ukraine), sexual IPV in Moldova, and injurious IPV in all three countries. Poor socioeconomic status-as indicated by low household wealth status in Azerbaijan and partner's unemployment in Moldova and Ukraine-was significantly associated with higher risk for physical and injurious IPV. In Moldova and Ukraine partners' low level of education was associated with higher risk for sexual IPV. The article demonstrates that experiences and factors associated with IPV are diverse and context specific. The findings may be helpful in targeting interventions to sociodemographic groups disproportionately affected by IPV in these three transitional countries.
本文利用前苏联三个国家（独联体）人口为基础的样本，估计了按类型和严重程度划分的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的流行率和社会人口学相关性。本文使用了在阿塞拜疆（2006 年）、摩尔多瓦（2005 年）和乌克兰（2007 年）进行的人口与健康调查（DHS）的全国代表性数据。使用分层多阶段聚类抽样选择受访者。样本包括曾经已婚（或同居）的育龄女性（15-49 岁）；阿塞拜疆加权样本 n = 3847，摩尔多瓦 n = 4321，乌克兰 n = 2355。分析使用多项调查逻辑回归，调整了抽样设计和抽样权重。阿塞拜疆和乌克兰 10%的曾有伴侣的女性和摩尔多瓦 20%的曾有伴侣的女性曾遭受过最近丈夫或同居伴侣的身体 IPV（无性行为）；阿塞拜疆和乌克兰 3%的女性和摩尔多瓦 5%的女性经历过性 IPV（有或没有身体暴力），阿塞拜疆 2%的女性、乌克兰 3%的女性和摩尔多瓦 6%的女性遭受过最近伴侣导致的严重身体伤害的暴力。在所有三个国家，身体、性和伤害性 IPV 在以前已婚的女性中更高。与受过高等教育以上的女性相比，受过中等教育或以下教育的女性在阿塞拜疆和乌克兰表现出更高的身体 IPV 风险，在摩尔多瓦表现出更高的性 IPV 风险，在所有三个国家都表现出更高的伤害性 IPV 风险。社会经济地位较差-阿塞拜疆的家庭财富状况较低，摩尔多瓦和乌克兰的伴侣失业-与身体和伤害性 IPV 的风险增加显著相关。在摩尔多瓦和乌克兰，伴侣的低教育水平与性 IPV 的风险增加相关。本文表明，与 IPV 相关的经历和因素是多样化的，具体情况具体分析。这些发现可能有助于针对这些三个转型国家中不成比例地受到 IPV 影响的社会人口群体进行干预。
