Neighborhood disadvantage is commonly hypothesized to be positively associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. However, longitudinal investigation of this association has been limited, with no studies on whether the timing of exposure matters. We used data from 2,115 women in the UK-based Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. Exposure to neighborhood-level deprivation was measured at 10-time points from baseline (gestation) until age 18. Family-level socioeconomic characteristics were measured at baseline. At age 21, participants self-reported whether they had experienced any IPV since age 18. We used a three-step bias-adjusted longitudinal latent class analysis to investigate how different patterns of neighborhood deprivation exposure were associated with the odds of experiencing IPV. A total of 32% of women experienced any IPV between ages 18 and 21. Women who consistently lived in deprived neighborhoods (chronic high deprivation) or spent their early childhoods in more deprived neighborhoods and later moved to less deprived neighborhoods (decreasing deprivation) had higher odds of experiencing IPV compared to those who consistently lived in non-deprived neighborhoods. The odds of experiencing IPV did not consistently differ between women who lived in non-deprived neighborhoods during early childhood and later moved to deprived neighborhoods (increasing deprivation) and those stably in non-deprived neighborhoods. Living in more deprived neighborhoods during early childhood, regardless of later exposure, was associated with higher odds of experiencing later IPV. This is congruent with prior research demonstrating the persistent effects of early neighborhood disadvantage on health and well-being. Replication, and underlying mechanisms, should be assessed across contexts.
邻里劣势通常被假设与针对妇女的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）呈正相关。然而，对这种关联的纵向研究是有限的，没有研究表明暴露的时间是否重要。我们使用了来自英国阿冯纵向父母与子女研究中的 2115 名女性的数据。从基线（妊娠）到 18 岁，在 10 个时间点测量了邻里层面的贫困状况。家庭层面的社会经济特征在基线时进行了测量。在 21 岁时，参与者自我报告自 18 岁以来是否经历过任何 IPV。我们使用了一个三步偏差调整的纵向潜在类别分析来研究不同模式的邻里贫困暴露如何与经历 IPV 的可能性相关。在 18 岁至 21 岁之间，32%的女性经历过任何 IPV。与那些一直生活在非贫困社区的女性相比，一直生活在贫困社区（慢性高贫困）或在童年早期生活在较贫困的社区，后来搬到较贫困的社区（贫困程度下降）的女性经历 IPV 的可能性更高。在童年早期生活在非贫困社区但后来搬到贫困社区（贫困程度增加）的女性与一直生活在非贫困社区的女性经历 IPV 的可能性没有明显差异。童年早期生活在较贫困的社区，无论后来的暴露情况如何，都与后来经历 IPV 的可能性较高有关。这与先前的研究一致，这些研究表明早期邻里劣势对健康和幸福的持续影响。应在不同背景下评估复制和潜在机制。
