A growing body of U.S.-based research demonstrates that reproductive coercion is an important consideration regarding the negative health impacts of intimate partner violence (IPV). However, less work on IPV and reproductive coercion has been done in West African settings. Cross-sectional data of 981 women who participated in the baseline survey of a randomized-controlled trial in rural, Côte d'Ivoire in October 2010 were analyzed for specific reports of reproductive coercion. Half (49.8%) of all women reported lifetime physical or sexual IPV, and nearly 1 in 5 (18.6%) reported experiencing reproductive coercion. In the final adjusted analyses, lifetime IPV was associated with a 3.7 increase in odds of reporting reproductive coercion (95% CI: 2.4-5.8) compared to women who did not report such victimization. Study findings underscore the importance of reducing IPV in order to improve reproductive health among women in rural Côte d'Ivoire.
越来越多美国的研究表明，生殖胁迫是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）对健康产生负面影响的一个重要考量因素。然而，在西非地区，针对亲密伴侣暴力和生殖胁迫的研究较少。对981名参与了2010年10月在科特迪瓦农村进行的一项随机对照试验基线调查的女性的横断面数据进行分析，以获取生殖胁迫的具体报告。所有女性中有一半（49.8%）报告曾遭受过一生中的身体或性方面的亲密伴侣暴力，近五分之一（18.6%）报告曾经历过生殖胁迫。在最终的调整分析中，与未报告此类受害情况的女性相比，一生中遭受亲密伴侣暴力的女性报告生殖胁迫的几率增加了3.7倍（95%置信区间：2.4 - 5.8）。研究结果强调了减少亲密伴侣暴力对于改善科特迪瓦农村地区女性生殖健康的重要性。
