Prevalence of Intimate Partner Reproductive Coercion in the United States: Racial and Ethnic Differences Kathleen C. Basile, PhD1, Sharon G. Smith, PhD1, Yang Liu, PhD1, Elizabeth Miller, MD, PhD2, Marcie-jo Kresnow, MS1 1Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA 2University of Pittsburgh, PA, USA Abstract Reproductive coercion (RC) is a specific type of intimate partner violence (IPV). Although clinical studies have highlighted women’s experiences of RC, we know little about its national prevalence and differences in prevalence by sex category and race/ethnicity. Data are from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), years 2010 to 2012. NISVS is an ongoing, nationally representative random-digit-dial telephone survey of the noninstitutionalized English- or Spanish-speaking U.S. adult population. This article reports the national lifetime and 12-month prevalence of two RC victimization measures, and proportions among IPV victims. T tests were used to examine differences in estimates across racial/ethnic groups. In the United States, 9.7% of men and 8.4% of women experienced any RC by an intimate partner during their lifetime. Men reported more commonly than women that a partner tried to get pregnant when the man did not want her to; women reported higher prevalence of partner condom refusal. Examination by race/ ethnicity revealed that non-Hispanic (NH) Black women and men had significantly higher lifetime prevalence of both RC types than all other groups; in the last 12 months, NH Blacks had significantly higher prevalence across the board than NH Whites.

The authors examined the prevalence and characteristics of rape-related pregnancy in U.S. women and its association with intimate partner reproductive coercion. Methods: Data years 2010–2012 are pooled from the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, a telephone survey of U.S. adults. Accounting for complex survey design, in 2017, authors estimated the prevalence of vaginal rape–related pregnancy for U.S. women overall and by race/ethnicity. The authors also examined the proportion of rape-related pregnancy among victims of vaginal rape overall, by perpetrator type and by presence of reproductive coercion in the context of intimate partner rape.

  • Intimate Partner Violence Endangers Pregnant People and Their Infants
    MOMS & BABIES SERIES INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE ENDANGERS PREGNANT PEOPLE AND THEIR INFANTS AUTHOR SHAINA GOODMAN THE PROBLEM: VIOLENCE AGAINST PREGNANT PEOPLE INFLICTS LASTING HARM ON THEM AND THEIR BABIES Intimate partner violence (IPV) – also commonly referred to as domestic violence – is endemic in the United States, with nearly one in three women† experiencing physical violence by an intimate partner over their lifetime.1 IPV can also include emotional, sexual, and economic abuse. More than one-third of women report psychological aggression by an intimate partner, and nearly 20 percent report sexual violence by an intimate partner during their lifetime.2 In addition, financial or economic abuse occurs in 99 percent of cases where other forms of IPV are also present.3 Early evidence indicates that cases of domestic violence have increased, and become more severe, during the coronavirus pandemic.4 IPV negatively affects people’s lives in multiple short- and long-term ways. Current or former intimate partners kill, on average, three women every day,5 and those who survive IPV often suffer a wide range of physical and mental health problems caused or exacerbated by the violence. These include, for example, physical injuries (including gynecological harm), asthma, gastrointestinal problems, and chronic pain, as well as mental health conditions like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).6 Additionally, IPV has broader, pervasive effects over the survivor’s lifetime, including, but not limited to: housing instability and homelessness, unemployment, loss or delay of educational opportunities, food insecurity, financial instability, and unwanted entanglement in civil and criminal legal systems.7 Pregnancy can often be an especially risky period for IPV, as many women report that abuse started or intensified when they became pregnant.8 Each year, an estimated 324,000 pregnant people in the United States are battered by their intimate partners.9 IPV during pregnancy can hurt both maternal and infant health.
