Paper text:
we sought to investigate the one - year point prevalence for male intimate partner violence ( ipv ) in men presenting to a university emergency department , to identify types of violence , to examine differences in male ipv rates based on patient demographics , and to identify any differences in prevalence based on types of partnership .
this survey study was conducted from september 2001 until january 2002 at a tertiary , academic , level i trauma center with an emergency department ( ed ) that has 40,000 visits per year . the anonymous written survey consisted of 16 questions previously validated in the colorado partner violence study , index of spouse abuse and
odds ratios ( or ) with 95% ci were calculated when appropriate and a p - value of 0.05 was set for significance .
the one - year point prevalence rate of male ipv was 24% in our study population ( 82/346 ) . among the men who experienced some form of abuse specified as either physical , emotional , or sexual ,
the prevalence was calculated to be 15.6% ( 54/346 ) , 13.6% ( 47/346 ) , and 2.6% ( 9/346 ) , respectively .
education , income , age , and race did not demonstrate an association for any one variable to be associated with intimate partner abuse ( p>0.05 ) with the exception of increased risk of ipv among unemployed men in the relationship ( p<0.04 , or 0.592 ) .
overall , 2% ( 8/346 ) of the men surveyed had received medical treatment as a result of ipv by their intimate partner within the past year .
the point prevalence of ipv among our study population was 24% . in our study of 346 men ,
male ipv crossed all socioeconomic boundaries , racial differences , and educational levels regardless of the sex of the partner .
objective : we sought to investigate the one - year point prevalence for male intimate partner violence ( ipv ) in men presenting to a university emergency department , to identify types of violence , to examine differences in male ipv rates based on patient demographics , and to identify any differences in prevalence based on types of partnership.methods:this survey study was conducted from september 2001 until january 2002 at a tertiary , academic , level i trauma center with an emergency department ( ed ) that has 40,000 visits per year . the anonymous written survey consisted of 16 questions previously validated in the colorado partner violence study , index of spouse abuse and the conflict tactics scale . 
 this survey was administered to all consenting adult men who presented to the ed . 
 odds ratios ( or ) with 95% ci were calculated when appropriate and a p - value of 0.05 was set for significance.results:the one - year point prevalence rate of male ipv was 24% in our study population ( 82/346 ) . among the men who experienced some form of abuse specified as either physical , emotional , or sexual , 
 the prevalence was calculated to be 15.6% ( 54/346 ) , 13.6% ( 47/346 ) , and 2.6% ( 9/346 ) , respectively . 
 education , income , age , and race did not demonstrate an association for any one variable to be associated with intimate partner abuse ( p>0.05 ) with the exception of increased risk of ipv among unemployed men in the relationship ( p<0.04 , or 0.592 ) . 
 ipv towards men was found to affect both heterosexual as well as homosexual relationships . 
 overall , 2% ( 8/346 ) of the men surveyed had received medical treatment as a result of ipv by their intimate partner within the past year . three percent ( 11/344 ) of those men reporting abuse were abusers themselves.conclusion:the point prevalence of ipv among our study population was 24% . in our study of 346 men , 
 male ipv crossed all socioeconomic boundaries , racial differences , and educational levels regardless of the sex of the partner .
