Given the epidemic proportion of those affected, the impact of gender-based violence looms large in the study of women's health. One increasingly recognized facet of such violence is reproductive coercion, defined as behavior that interferes with autonomous decision-making in areas of reproductive health. Although the body of literature illustrating the pathology of reproductive coercion is limited, growing data on harms to reproductive choice, health outcomes, and future pregnancies are a sobering appeal for greater publicity and information. This review explores existing knowledge regarding reproductive coercion, highlights areas of future study, and underscores how women's health care providers can better serve this population.
鉴于受影响人群的数量呈流行态势，性别暴力对女性健康研究的影响重大。这种暴力行为中一个日益受到认可的方面是生殖胁迫，它被定义为在生殖健康领域干扰自主决策的行为。尽管阐述生殖胁迫病理的文献有限，但关于对生殖选择、健康结果和未来妊娠造成危害的越来越多的数据，迫切呼吁加大宣传和信息传播力度。本综述探讨了关于生殖胁迫的现有知识，突出了未来研究的领域，并强调了女性医疗保健提供者如何能更好地为这一人群服务。
