In comparison with other countries, Mexico lacks information on the issue of violence against women, especially regarding the incidence and prevalence of battering and emotional abuse. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of violence against women among both rural and urban populations in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. A cross-sectional study was conducted among two groups randomly selected; 1,163 rural women (RW) and 427 urban women (UW). Variables included: frequency of violence of family members against women and vice versa, socioeconomic variables and reason for violence. The results were: a) 44.2 per cent and 56.7 per cent rural and urban female population, respectively, suffered some form of violence; b) the principal aggressor was the husband in more than 60 per cent of the cases in both rural and urban areas. Significant statistical difference (p < 0.05) were found between rural and urban groups in relation to low education, middle-age and family size over 7 members.
与其他国家相比，墨西哥缺乏关于暴力侵害妇女问题的信息，尤其是关于殴打和情感虐待的发生率和流行程度。本研究的目的是确定墨西哥哈利斯科州农村和城市人口中暴力侵害妇女行为的频率和分布情况。对随机选取的两组人群进行了横断面研究；1163名农村妇女（RW）和427名城市妇女（UW）。变量包括：家庭成员对妇女的暴力频率以及反之亦然、社会经济变量和暴力原因。结果如下：a）农村和城市女性人口中分别有44.2%和56.7%遭受了某种形式的暴力；b）在农村和城市地区，超过60%的案件中主要施暴者是丈夫。在低教育程度、中年以及家庭成员超过7人的情况方面，农村和城市群体之间存在显著的统计学差异（p < 0.05）。
